Preface Preface The purpose of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) investigation is to improve railway safety by preventing future railway accidents or by mitigating their consequences. It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.

    Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Case Study: Guangzhou’s Story © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London Community of Metros CoMET The Operator’s Story: Notes from Guangzhou Case Study Interviews February 2017 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a permanent record for the researchers of what was said by people interviewed for ‘The Operator’s Story’ in Guangzhou, China. These notes are based upon 3 meetings on the 11th March 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece. Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. This mini case study does not attempt to provide a comprehensive picture of Guangzhou Metropolitan Corporation (GMC), but rather focuses on specific topics of interest to The Operators’ Story project. The research team thank GMC and its staff for their kind participation in this project. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and GMC.

  • Flip Or Flop? Real Estate Tobin Taxes
    Flip or Flop? Tobin Taxes in the Real Estate Market ∗ Chun-Che Chiy Cameron LaPointz Ming-Jen Linx Academia Sinica Yale SOM National Taiwan University April 24, 2021 { Latest version here Abstract This paper estimates the optimal tax on property flips using a sufficient statistics approach applied to a 2011 reform in Taiwan which levied a sales surcharge of up to 15% on investment properties held for two years or less. Linking the universe of personal income tax returns to transaction records, we show via an hedonic bunching design that the tax generated a 75% drop in one-year flips and a 40% drop in overall second home sales volume. We use shocks to housing net worth from inheritances received after decedents' untimely deaths to show that investors with more portfolio exposure pass through the tax to buyers. While low-wealth out-of-town investors account for most of the drop in sales volume, locals and non-residents earn similar holding period returns in the pre-reform period. We use spatial and time variation in the severity of typhoon seasons to estimate a 20% share of noise trading prior to the reform. We combine our estimates of the noise trading share and change in short-term sales volume to parametrize a model of optimal financial transaction taxes. The optimal transfer tax on short-term sales is 4%, at most, which is close to the flat transfer tax rates imposed in many global real estate markets. Our results point to segmentation and inventory effects as key constraints on the ability of Tobin taxes to promote housing affordability.

    231 Chapter 13 Transport Hong Kong’s transport system is among the best in the world. It is modern, efficient and provides affordable, comfortable and safe travel on a wide choice of carriers. The Government provides an efficient transport infrastructure to meet the challenges of population growth and continuous development. It encourages the use of public transport by ensuring quality service. It also manages road use to reduce congestion and promote safety, and supports special measures to protect the environment in places used by public transport. Rail is the backbone of the public transport system. The MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) was formed following the merger of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) and the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) in December 2007. The network was further integrated in September through the introduction of an integrated ticketing system for single journey tickets and replacement of the former MTR/KCR interchange ticket gates by a barrier-free interchange. Railway projects progressed smoothly in 2008. The Kowloon Southern Link, which will connect the East and West Rail Lines at the southern tip of Kowloon Peninsula, and the LOHAS Park Station, which will extend the Tseung Kwan O Line, will be completed as scheduled in 2009. Progress was also made in the development of road networks. The section of Route 8 between Cheung Sha Wan and Sha Tin was commissioned in March and the remaining section between Tsing Yi and Cheung Sha Wan will be completed in late 2009. The feasibility study report for the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge (HZMB) was submitted to the Central Government for approval in December.
