In this paper, I develop an overlapping generations model to analyze the effects of property transfer taxes on homeownership, residential mobility, and welfare in the Netherlands. A revenue-neutral abolition of the 2% transfer tax increases the likelihood that homeowners sell their old house and...

Individual preferences for 'ageing in place' (AIP) in old age are not well understood. One way to test the strength of AIP preference is to investigate the effect of health shocks on residential mobility to smaller size or value dwellings, which we refer to as 'housing downsizing'. This paper...

Abstract Increasing residential mobility is said to challenge existing social support systems as mobility raises geographic distances between family members. Since family social support is essential for health and well-being, this study investigates whether residential mobility affects familial...

This paper provides the first causal evidence on the impact of retirement on housing choices. Our empirical strategy exploits the discontinuity in the eligibility ages for state pension as an instrument for the endogenous retirement decision and controls for time-invariant individual...

While problems in the housing system in Ireland have been under the spotlight for the last decade, relatively little attention has been paid to the experience of children and to the consequences of housing issues for child development.

Non-degree certificate programs that are free, short, and located in urban areas may allow for the geographic convergence of urban job-seekers and employers to lead to both a skills and a spatial match. Leveraging a large-scale survey of applicants to a unique technology certificate and...

In this paper we use linked Census data to document rates of intergenerational housing mobility across ethnic groups in England and Wales. While home ownership has declined across all ethnic groups, we find substantial differences between them, with Black, Pakistani and Bangladeshi households...

Home ownership is the largest component of wealth for most households and its intergenerational transmission underpins the production and reproduction of economic inequalities across generations. Yet, little is currently known about ethnic differences in the intergenerational transmission of...

A major overhaul of the property tax system in 2013 in the city of Philadelphia has generated significant variations in the amount of property taxes across properties. This exogenous policy shock provides a unique opportunity to identify the causal effects of gentrification, which is often...

This paper examines whether neighborhoods that had been gentrifying lost their appeal during the pandemic because of COVID-induced health risks and increased work-from-home arrangements. By following the mobility pattern of residents in gentrifying neighborhoods in 39 major U.S. cities, we note...

This project examines the effects of the rental swap market on the horizontal and vertical residential mobility and reveals the main users of the market. Treatment effects on moving distance and neighborhood upgrade, of different relocation alternatives (buy, rent in private accommodation, queue...

In recent years, the installation rate of solar water heaters (SWHs) in Chinese urban areas has decreased significantly, which undermines energy conservation and emission reduction goals. Based on data from the 2015 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), this study examines the effect of...

I use mixed-income public housing regenerations in London as a natural experiment to identify how schools affect low-income students’ educational achievement when affluent households flow into their neighborhood. I compare student achievement in schools of the same neighborhood located at...

Purpose This paper aims to test two hypotheses related to the supposedly negative impact of rent control on residential mobility: the mobility of renters is, first, negatively related to how attractive their residential areas are and, second, relatively high for renters living in properties...

In Bezug auf wesentliche Beteiligungen an Kapitalgesellschaften sieht das deutsche Steuerrecht in 6 AStG die sog. Wegzugsbesteuerung vor, um die Besteuerung stiller Reserven sicherzustellen. Die Norm kommt vor allem bei einem Wegzug eines bislang unbeschränkt Steuerpflichtigen und dem damit...
