Project Overview
This project aims to disentangle the factors responsible for inequity and underutilization of property taxation in Lahore and understand the political and economic barriers to introducing an equitable property tax code. A survey experiment will be used to elicit taxpayer policy preferences and establish their relationship with various mechanisms like preferences for fairness and trust in government. Since support from lawmakers and bureaucrats is critical for any policy reform, the political feasibility of sanctioning a property tax policy that incorporates these preferences will also be determined.
The project is led by researchers from Columbia University, the London School of Economics, the International Monetary Fund, the Institute of Development Studies at Sussex and LUMS. This is an excellent opportunity to get involved in first-hand field research, and interact with academics and policymakers, and is particularly suited for those interested in continuing further studies in economics, political science, or public policy.
