Zoning and land use regulation pdf 123kb
Zoning confers an interest in the property of each landowner to those who control the political power of the locality. This allows municipalities to shape their residential environments and their property-tax base. Voters in
most communities will accept developments that raise the value of their major personal asset, their homes. The efficiency of zoning thus depends on the transaction costs of making mutually advantageous trades between
existing voters and development-minded landowners. High transactions costs of selling zoning plus the endowment effect that zoning confers probably create land-use patterns with excessively low densities in American metropolitan areas.

Land Ownership Inequality? pdf 218kb
In no region of the world has land ownership inequality been starker and more persistent than in Latin America. The Barraclough studies of the 1960s (summarized in Barraclough 1967), exhaustively documented this persistent status quo. What Coles (1994) calls the “land reform period” of Latin American agricultural policy was intended as (or, more cynically, intended to appear as) a frontal assault on what was perceived as an economically, socially and politically costly inequality.

The Impact of Two-Rate Taxes on Construction in Pennsylvania pdf 218kb
The evaluation of policy-relevant economic research requires an ethical foundation. Classical liberal theory provides the requisite foundation for this dissertation, which uses various econometric tools to estimate the effects of shifting some of the property tax from buildings to land in 15 cities in Pennsylvania. Economic theory predicts that such a shift will lead to higher building activity. However, this prediction has been supported little by empirical evidence so far. (See chapter 2)
