Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Property Tax and Housing Prices: Evidence from Czechia Charles University, Czech Republic (Czechia) This paper studies the capitalization of property taxes into housing prices using a large-scale natural experiment in the Czech Republic. We exploit a 2024 reform that sharply increased statutory tax rates for municipalities above specific population thresholds and apply regression discontinuity and difference-in-discontinuities designs to isolate exogenous variation in tax liabilities. We find strong evidence of capitalization: an 80% statutory rate increase reduced property prices by 12.6% to 17.5% in non-touristic municipalities. The effects are heterogeneous, with significantly weaker responses in touristic areas and in municipalities with high pre-existing tax burdens. Despite the sizable fiscal shock, we detect little evidence of strategic tax interaction across local governments, suggesting that institutional constraints limit competitive tax-setting. Overall, the results provide robust support for the capitalization hypothesis and highlight the role of market segmentation and local amenities in shaping tax incidence.
