"Why did Highways Cause Suburbanization? The Role of Highway Congestion"[paper] [slides]

要旨
Congestion is a large problem in metropolitan areas. This paper provides a theoretical and empirical framework that can analyze whether congestion induced by highway construction affects residential and workplace choice in metropolitan areas. First, we develop a quantitative urban model with congestion, and this model illustrates that how congestion affect the worker location choices of residence and workplace. This model indicates that congestion induced by highway construction causes population and employment suburbanization. To examine the validity of the model, we use partial identification with data on central cities in US from 1950 to 1990. The empirical results shows that the model with congestion is evidenced by the data on all cities. On the other hand, the model without congestion is not valid the data on congested central city.

"Avoiding Compliance Costs: Evidence from VAT Reforms in Japan" (joint with Kawakubo Takafumi (LSE), Kohei Asao (PRI, Japan))


要旨
This paper disentangles the motivations for enterprises responding to size-dependent tax regulations by exploiting the value-added tax (VAT) reforms in Japan. Tax threshold and tax rate have been changed over the past three decades since the introduction of VAT. We extended the model of Harju et al. (2019) to incorporate various tax reforms and derived empirically testable implications. By using a novel panel of Japanese Census Survey of Manufactures covering the periods of VAT introduction and reforms, we found that the observed output response by enterprises is mainly caused by compliance costs rather than tax rates, suggesting that the dominant factor of tax avoidance incentives is compliance costs for small enterprises in Japan. The authorities are encouraged to ease compliance costs while enhancing tax revenue to achieve a more efficient tax design.

"The value added tax and growth: Design matters" [paper]


要旨
Does the design of a tax matter for growth? Assembling a novel dataset for 30 OECD countries over the 1970-2016 period, this paper examines whether the value added tax (VAT) may have different effects on long-run growth depending on whether it is raised through the standard rate or through C-efficiency (a measure of the departure of the VAT from a perfectly enforced tax levied at a single rate on all consumption). Our key findings are twofold. First, for a given total tax revenue, a rise in the VAT, financed by a fall in income taxes, promotes growth only when the VAT is raised through C-efficiency. Second, for a given VAT revenue, a rise in C-efficiency, offset by a fall in the standard rate, also promotes growth. The implication is thus that in OECD countries broadening the VAT base through fewer reduced rates and exemptions is more conducive to higher long-run growth than a rise in the standard rate.

"Government Debt Maturity in Japan: FY1965 to the Present(with Yosuke Kimura)"


要旨

2. "Government Debt Maturity in Japan: FY1965 to the Present(with Yosuke Kimura)"

This paper constructs and documents a dataset of the maturity structure of the Japanese government bonds from the issue level for fiscal years 1965-2020. Using the maturity structure data at the end of fiscal year, the bond supply factor is extracted using a principal component analysis, and a term structure model of Greenwood and Vayanos (2014) is structurally estimated. The estimated results provide a debt maturity equation in the fiscal year cycle, and show that two yield factors (the bond supply factor and the short term interest rate) can account for annual-frequency variations in Japanese bond yield. The supply factor also explains the continued decline in the long term interest rate at a zero lower bound environment for the last two decades.
