Advancing Land Value Taxation: Research Priorities for 2025 and Beyond
An overview of the current empirical research agenda for land value taxation — what is known, what is contested, and what needs studying next.
Summary
This piece from the Progress and Poverty Institute lays out the research agenda for land value taxation going forward — a useful map of the field's open questions.
Why It Matters
It identifies where the evidence is strong (e.g. land's share of wealth, incidence) and where more work is needed (assessment methods, affordability effects, transition design, macro modelling). For a wiki organised around an Outcomes ⇄ Research evidence graph, this is effectively a to-do list of the outcomes still to be firmly established — and a guide to where the next generation of studies (like the IMF and CEPR work catalogued here) is heading.
