| Tiivistelmä: | Analyzes of owner-occupied housing (H) ignore the taxation of capital gains because homeowners do not pay a capital gains tax if they buy up when they move. However, the capital gains tax code introduces a kink into the budget constraint of most previous homeowners, causing previous owners to face a different price of H depending on whether they buy up or down. There is a control for the kinked budget constraint within a maximum likelihood model of owner-occupied H demand. Results indicate that failure to model the capital gains tax provisions leads to inefficient estimates of the elasticities of demand. |
