Mortgage interest deductibility and housing prices
Abstract: An analysis of how implementing a flat tax on income and ending the deductibility of mortgage interest payments would affect housing prices. The authors show that, to the extent prices decline, higher-income households would bear most of the impact, but increases in the value of their other assets might mitigate the drop in the price of their homes.
