Tax Incentives and House Price Volatility in the Euro Area Theory and Evidence

A problem associated with inflation differentials in monetary unions is that the "crowding-in" effect of lower real interest rates associated with high inflation will initially outweigh the loss of competitiveness (crowding out). The crowding-in effect may produce volatility in house price...
