How to revitalize deprived neighborhoods? Evidence from a national urban renewal program in France
écrit avec Co-authors: Florence Goffette-Nagot and Sylvain Chareyron
Urban renewal programs have been implemented in many countries in order to foster a change in deprived neighborhoods. In France, an ambitious program was launched in 2004, called PNRU (Programme National pour la Rénovation Urbaine). This program consists in demolitions and building of new housing units, mainly in public housing. Other operations affecting public facilites have also been funded as part of the program. The total budget was 47 billion euros. Using difference-in-differences estimates and matching procedures, we analyse the impact of the program on housing prices. Our results do not show any impact of the program over the 12 years following the first operations at the aggregate level. However, when focusing on neighborhoods that benefitted from a large enough investment in renovation, while being located in urban units with a dynamic housing market and not too far from the center of the urban unit, there is some evidence of a cumulative positive effect of renovation on housing values.

Beliefs about Behavioral Responses to Taxation
écrit avec Alexander W. Cappelen and Ingar K. Haaland
We conduct an experiment to study how beliefs about behavioral responses to taxation and preferences over equality–efficiency trade-offs relate to the political disagreement on redistribution. We use a novel method to elicit incentivized beliefs from a sample of 13,900 Americans about how taxes affect people’s effort choices, and we elicit incentivized equality–efficiency preferences. We find that Democrats and Republicans have virtually identical beliefs about behavioral responses to taxation. Furthermore, we find that beliefs about behavioral responses to taxation fail to predict people’s support for equalization of incomes in society. Equality– efficiency preferences, by contrast, strongly predict both people’s political affiliation and their support for equalization of incomes in society. We also explore the role of motivated beliefs and identity politics by priming respondents about the political disagreement on redistribution. The treatments increase political polarization in preferences, but do not polarize beliefs. Our findings suggest that the political divide on redistribution relates more to people’s preferences than to their beliefs about the behavioral responses to taxation.
