Nota

^ This is the IMF 2007 definition, however, it is almost identical to the general academic definition, and the other FSF–IMF–definitions of an OFC, see Badan luar pesisir § Notes.
^ It is common to see lists of "Offshore Financial Centres" that are a subset of the FSF–IMF OFC list, restricted to the locations that are small islands (e.g. Jersey, Bermuda, Gurnsey etc.)

In this paper, I will use the expression “tax haven” and “offshore financial center” interchangeably (the list of tax havens considered by Dharmapala and Hines (2009) is identical to the list of offshore financial centers considered by the Financial Stability Forum (IMF, 2000), barring minor exceptions)
