Brueckner, Jan K. Kim, Hyun-A 2015-09-25T22:47:10Z 2015-09-25T22:47:10Z 10000-01-01 2001 2001 Second part of thesis explores the connection between the property tax and urban sprawl. While the tax's depressing effect on improvements reduces population density, spurring the spatial expansion of cities, a countervailing effect from lower dwelling sizes may dominate, raising densities and making cities smaller. The analysis shows that this latter outcome is guaranteed under CES preferences when the elasticity of substitution sigma, is high. But numerical results for the Leontief case (where sigma is zero) suggest that the property tax encourages urban sprawl when substitution between housing and other goods is low. Thus, the distortions generated by the property tax may include inefficient spatial expansion of cities. Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T22:47:10Z (GMT).
