| dc.description.abstract | This paper studies the preferential tax treatment of housing that can be observed in many industrialized countries. It provides a rationale for it by means of an optimal taxation approach taking into account an important feature of housing, namely its usage as collateral. In a borrower-lender framework where private loans are assumed to be non-enforceable and have to be collateralized by housing, optimal fisscal policy should disburden constrained borrowers by subsidizing their housing. | en |
