Property Taxation and Its Socioeconomic Ripple Effects
Fri, November 7, 10:15 to 11:45am, The Westin Copley Place, Floor: 7, AdamsSession Submission Type: Complete Session
Abstract
This panel explores the equity, incidence, and political dynamics of property taxation across diverse contexts. Papers explore partisan disparities in U.S. tax assessments, the short-term burden of tax hikes on landlords versus renters, the effects of delayed reassessments during housing cycles in the U.S., and the redistributive impacts of new property taxes in China. Together, they reveal how tax design, timing, and governance shape who pays—and who benefits.
