      Simola, Antti
      Land Use Policy (Elsevier, 2015)

      Eerola, Essi; Harjunen, Oskari; Lyytikäinen, Teemu; Saarimaa, Tuukka
      Journal of Urban Economics : Open Access (Elsevier, 2021)
      Housing transfer taxes are fiscally important in many countries despite evidence of substantial welfare costs. We argue that the welfare costs are larger than previously thought because previous studies ignore spillovers ...
