Study on the land tax and other land policies

本文从理论的角度来思考和分析所谓的土地问题，这一问题的典型表现是近年来日本土地价格的急剧上涨和土地利用的低效。在这项研究中，我们做了两种研究。一是在世代重叠的动态一般均衡模型中研究土地税对地价的影响。本研究分析土地税如何影响土地价格在土地用于住房和生产要素的设置。第二项研究分析了土地税如何影响土地开发时机和类型的选择。这项研究对这个问题提出了一些令人困惑的观点。这些研究总结在名古屋市立大学经济系的两篇工作论文中。

This study considered and analysed from a theoretical viewpoint the so-called land problems, which are symbolically found in a sharp rise of land price and inefficient use of land in the recent Japan.In this study, we made two kinds of research. One is the study of effect of land tax on land price in a dynamic general equilibrium model with overlapping generations. This study analyzes how the land tax affects land prices in a setting where land is used for housing as well as a factor of production. The second study analysed how land tax affects the choice of timing and type of land development. The study made clear a little confused arguments on the problem.These studies are summarized in two working papers at Economics Department, Nagoya City University.
