I analyze whether the effectiveness of a country`s Securities regulation, Investors protection, corporate Tax rate and the effective corporate Tax rate are systematically related to cross-country differences in the Cost of Capital. I estimate the firms` implied Cost of Capital for the year 2005 using the Target Price model implemented by Botosan and Plumlee (2005), and the Price Earnings Growth model (PEG-model) implemented by Easton(2005). My results support the research hypothesis and the conclusion that firms from countries with, stronger securities regulation, stronger investors` protection, higher corporate tax rate and higher effective tax rate have a significantly lower cost of capital. However, the security regulation variable was not significantly, but negatively related to the Cost of Capital when I included the control variables of firms` Size and the book-to-market value ratio into the estimation model. This book is value relevant for several investors, stakeholders and firms with common share issue and management making decisions.
