Abstract

As an incentive tax, the surcharge on second homes allows for the conversion of secondary dwellings into primary residences (first dividend) and, failing that, generates additional tax revenue for the municipality (second dividend). By controlling for motivations that measure housing conversion, tax revenues, tax exportation, and political ideology, our goal is to better understand the sources of spatial interactions between municipalities (informational externalities, tax competition, yardstick competition, avoidance of tax optimization strategies, inter-municipal cooperation, territorial solidarity). To this end, we use several spatial econometric models (Spatial autoregressive model, binary spatial autoregressive model, probit with endogenous covariates) and consider different neighborhood weighting schemes.
