  • 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.

  • Underground Or Aboveground? Making the Choice for Urban Mass Transit Systems a Report by the International Tunnelling Association (ITA)
    Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology 19 (2004) 3–28 Underground or aboveground? Making the choice for urban mass transit systems A report by the International Tunnelling Association (ITA). Prepared by Working Group Number 13 (WG13). ‘Direct and indirect advantages of underground structures’૾ ITA Working Group Number 13* ITA-AITES, cyo EPFL, Bat GC, CH1015 Lausanne, Switzerland Received 28 June 2003; received in revised form 16 July 2003; accepted 16 August 2003 Abstract This report has been prepared by Working Group 13 (WG13) ofthe International Tunnelling Association (ITA). The question addressed in this report is how the decision is made as to whether to place Urban Mass Transit Systems above ground (either at surface or elevated) or underground. Following collection ofa substantial amount ofdata from 30 cities in 19 countries, representing the situation from 1995 to 1998 (with some later updates), analysis ofthat data and deliberations on the issues raised has led to the findings and recommendations contained in this report. For many developing countries, the investment cost of a fixed guideway urban mass transit system is significant compared to the national or city economies. In order to assist future decisions, the report recommends that representative decision processes should be better documented and illustrated by reference to current and retrospective studies oftypical projects, considering all costs and benefits,real and perceived. ᮊ 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
