About the Author:
Review:
Roy Bahlis regents professor of economics emeritus and founding dean of the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University
Jorge Martinez-Vazquez is regents professor of economics at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University.
Joan Youngman is senior fellow and chair of the Department of Valuation and Taxation at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.
“The essays in this volume provide a valuable and much-needed reappraisal of property taxation in both industrailized and developing nations. They offer a road map for policy reform and for further research on the property tax.”
— Wallace Oates, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland
“The conventional widsom is that the property tax is a desirable tax from both efficiency and distributional standpoints; has significant (albeit often unexploited) revenue potential; and is an instrument of choice to finance local governments. This book presents a number of carefully argued challenges to such "widsom." I found the book thought-provoking and very well documented. I agree with the thrust of its message: property taxes can be efficient and equitable, but only if their sound design is complemented with their transparent administration, based on modern valuation and enforcement techniques.”
— Teresa Ter-Minassian, International Economic Consultant and Former Director, Fiscal Affairs, International Monetary Fund
