Using the policy of local government debt financing explicitly after the implementa-tion of the new Budget Law of the People's Republic of China as a natural experiment,based on the perspectives of both"opening the front door"and"closing the back door"measures,this study tests the impact of local government debt financing explicitly on corporate tax stickiness and its mechanisms.The results indicate that,local government debt financing explicitly can sig-nificantly reduce the corporate tax stickiness,and the impact of"opening the front door"scale di-mension and"closing the back door"structural dimension exert"tax benefit supporting effect"and"tax shield strengthening effect"respectively,to reduce the corporate tax stickiness.At the same time,the differences of local financial pressure,corporate information transparency make different impacts of local government debt financing explicitly on corporate tax stickiness.In light of these findings,it is recommended to continue to promote the process of local government debt financing explicitly,utilize fiscal tax tools to maximize benefits,and steadily strengthen the infor-mation transperancy between enterprises and the government.
