Property taxation and local public spending: The render effect
Article Abstract:
The approximate magnitude of the 'render effect' is determined by posing the question of 'how much smaller would public budgets be, if all residents were home-owners'. Findings suggest that one might do well to reform the administration of the property tax so that changes in property tax liabilities on rental dwellings are directly and visibly transformed into changes of monthly rental payments.
