Proposition 13 : An Equilibrium Analysis ∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1978, California passed one of the most significant tax changes initiated by voters in the United States. Proposition 13 lowered property tax rates and restricted future property tax increases. In this paper, we study the implications of Proposition 13 on house prices, housing turnover, and household welfare. In our benchmark calibration, the introduction of Proposition 13 leads to a 25% increase in house prices and a 4% decrease in the moving rates. We find that elimination of Proposition 13 in a revenue-neutral way leads to small changes in house prices and modest increases in mobility but large welfare gains. ∗We thank Victor Rios-Rull, Stephen Ross, and the seminar and conference participants at the University of Connecticut; Notre Dame; Stony Brook; UC Berkeley; Philadelphia Fed; Rice; USC; and 25 Years of Stokey, Lucas, and Prescott Conference for their comments.

This variant of the static model may also be of independent interest. Then, in Section A.2 we provide a proof of the Proposition. The proof starts with noticing properties of the equil...

We propose that generic magnetic equilibrium of an ideally conducting fluid contains a volumefilling set of singular current layers. Singular current layers should exist inside neutron stars. Residual dissipation in the singular current layers might be the main mechanism for the magnetic field decay. The slow decay of the field might be the clock responsible for triggering the magnetar flares. ...
متن کاملAttitudes of Iranians toward the Becker Proposition

This is implied by the Becker proposition. However, among 262 individuals surveyed, more than half of the sample has previ...
