Abstract

This nontechnical book evaluates economic thinking on the nexus between local land use and tax policies. Ladd summarizes the literature and clarifies issues such as the use of land use regulation as a fiscal tool, the effects of taxes on economic activity, and tax policies to promote economic development. Other contributors present new research on issues such as the impact of growth on tax burdens, land value taxation and metropolitan tax base sharing. Copublished with Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd.
