摘要:
It is sometimes argued that the favorable tax treatment afforded to housing may lead to an oversupply of housing at the expense of capital. This issue is examined in the context of a growing two-sector economy. In the basic model where the rate of time preference is constant and labor is instantaneously sectorally mobile, the long-run response of the capital stock to a tax on housing depends upon the relative capital intensities of the two sectors, while the long-run relative asset price of housing remains unchanged. The robustness of these propositions to changes in the model are considered. Taxes on capital are also analyzed.
