      Journal of Housing Economics (Elsevier, 2018)
      This paper analyzes the relative merits of large place- and tenant-based housing programs in Finland in terms of housing affordability and neighborhood quality. Using hedonic regression methods and household micro data, ...

    • Firm types, price-setting strategies, and consumption-tax incidence 

      Harju, Jarkko; Kosonen, Tuomas; Nordström Skans, Oskar
      Journal of Public Economics (Elsevier, 2018)
      We analyze price responses to large restaurant VAT rate reductions in two different European countries. Our results show that responses in the short and medium run were clustered around two focal points of zero pass-through ...

    • Housing Allowance and Rents: Evidence from a Stepwise Subsidy Scheme 

      Eerola, Essi; Lyytikäinen, Teemu
      Scandinavian Journal of Economics : 1 (Wiley, 2021)
      In this paper, we study the effect of housing demand subsidies on rents using discontinuities in the Finnish housing allowance system as a quasi‐experimental setting. The stepwise dependence of housing allowance on the ...

    • Low-income housing policies: affordability and integration 

      Eerola, Essi
      Nordic Economic Policy Review : 2021:022 (Nordic Council of Ministers, 2021)

      Kosonen, Tuomas
      Journal of Public Economics (Elsevier, 2015)
      Consumption tax rates targeted at specific sectors are often reformed without any empirical knowledge about the efficiency of these policies. This paper sheds light on tax incidence as well as the efficiency issue, the ...

    • The heterogeneous incidence of fuel carbon taxes: Evidence from station-level data 

      Harju, Jarkko; Kosonen, Tuomas; Laukkanen, Marita; Palanne, Kimmo
      Journal of Environmental Economics and Management : Open Access (Elsevier, 2022)
      We use station-level price data and a significant diesel-fuel carbon tax reform to study who bears the economic burden of fuel carbon taxes. We use a difference-in-differences strategy to estimate the pass-through of the ...

    • Using Payroll Tax Variation to Unpack the Black Box of Firm-Level Production 

      Benzarti, Youssef; Harju, Jarkko
      Journal of the European Economic Association : 5 (Oxford University Press, 2021)
      This paper uses quasi-experimental variation in payroll tax rates in Finland to investigate how firms use their input factors. We find that higher payroll tax rates lead to large employment responses and have no effects ...

    • What Goes Up May Not Come Down: Asymmetric Incidence of Value-Added Taxes 

      Benzarti, Youssef; Carloni, Dorian; Harju, Jarkko; Kosonen, Tuomas
      Journal of Political Economy : 12 (University of Chicago Press, 2020)
      This paper provides evidence that prices respond significantly more strongly to increases than to decreases in Value-Added Taxes (VATs). First, using two plausibly exogenous VAT changes, we show that prices respond twice ...
