This paper examines the impact of the combined U.S. state and federal mortgage interest deduction (MID) on homeownership attainment, using data from 1984 to 2007 and exploiting variation in the subsidy arising from changes in the MID within and across states over time. We test whether capitalization of the MID into house prices offsets the positive effect on homeownership. We find that the MID ...

We present detections of the CO(J = 1–0) emission line in a sample of four massive star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 1.5 − 2.2 obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). Combining these observations with previous CO(2–1) and CO(3–2) detections of these galaxies, we study the excitation properties of the molecular gas in our sample sources. We find an average line brightness temperature...

In this paper, by the studying of the Gauss map, Laplacian operator, curvatures of surfaces in R 1 and Bour’s theorem, we are going to identify surfaces of revolution with pointwise 1-type Gauss map property in 3−dimensional Minkowski space. Introduction The classification of submanifolds in Euclidean and Non-Euclidean spaces is one of the interesting topics in differential geometry and in this...

An important question in taste research is how 25 receptors of the human TAS2R family detect thousands of structurally diverse compounds. An answer to this question may arise from the observation that TAS2Rs in general are broadly tuned to interact with numerous substances. Ultimately, interaction with chemically diverse agonists requires architectures of binding pockets tailored to combine fle...

White mold caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary limits common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in temperate climates. Disease resistance has been identifi ed, but breeding is hampered by a paucity of resistance sources and complex inheritance, as numerous quantitative trait loci (QTL) conditioning partial resistance have been found. Our objectives wer...

While filtering has long been considered the primary mechanism by which markets supply lowincome housing, direct estimates of that process have been absent. This has contributed to doubts about the viability of markets and to misplaced policy. I fill this gap by estimating a “repeat income” model using 1985-2011 panel data. Real annual filtering rates are faster for rental housing (2.5 percent)...

We examine the long-term effects of a 1998–2003 randomized experiment in Tulsa, Oklahoma with Individual Development Accounts that offered low-income households 2:1 matching funds for housing down payments. Prior work shows that, among households who rented in 1998, homeownership rates increased more through 2003 in the treatment group than for controls. We show that control group renters caugh...

The paper presents a general method for estimating a country’s level of fundamental house prices and its interaction with actual house prices. We set up a unified empirical model which can be used to analyze the time-series behavior of the fundamental house price and to test various hypotheses regarding its relation to the actual house price. To illustrate how the method works, we apply it to d...

This paper uses MSA level data and a panel VAR model to analyze the dynamic determination and impact of the volatility of single-family home value appreciation. We find that the volatility can be magnified by an exogenous increase in the home appreciation rate, responds to changes in the population growth rate, and is serially correlated. Moreover, an exogenous increase in the volatility increa...
