Shocking! Can property taxes curb high home prices?
Economics Professor Xue Zhaofeng: Heavy taxes will only make second-hand houses vacant and push up house prices!
Last year, the real estate tax pilot began, and experts expect that the official launch of the real estate tax is not far away;
Netizens generally believe that the imposition of heavy taxes on second-hand houses will make house prices fall and discourage speculators.
In this regard, the economics professor Xue Zhaofeng has a completely different view, and he said amazingly:
Property taxes simply don't cause house prices to fall!
He made the following points:
1. The relationship between supply and demand determines the existence of speculators, and investment demand is also demand.
The reason why commodities have "investment needs" is because they can meet the "use needs", not only because they can change hands, if there is no support for "use needs", it is impossible to make money by changing hands alone. As long as there is a "demand for use", no matter how to combat the change of hands, it is impossible to alleviate the "demand for use".
Why is there always someone who wants to buy a second-hand house? Because when the first-hand house was launched, they could not see the market and did not know whether the real estate would rise or fall. Second-hand home sellers play a role in "inheriting the past and starting the future", they take the greatest risk, naturally have the right to obtain high returns, and they actually contribute to the real estate market.
2, heavy taxes will not only not reduce house prices, but will push up house prices.
Heavy tax on the second-hand market is the same as the blow on the primary market, if as long as the middle tax is imposed, the price of goods can be reduced, then the book retailer tax of 40%, can readers buy the factory price of the book? Impossible, it will only make the price higher, because the cost will eventually pass on to the consumer.
3, everyone goes to buy a first-hand house, the second-hand house is vacant, which is a great waste of resources.
Second-hand buildings are an important part of the whole society, if second-hand houses disappear and everyone pours into the first-hand market, what is the situation? Heavy taxes are bad for regulating vacant properties, with high house prices luring owners to sell, while punitive taxes encourage owners to stay on the line.
Professor Xue Zhaofeng's views are not only this, the following economic views written in Xue Zhaofeng's Economics Lecture Notes will also shatter your three views!
First, low-cost housing in the country should not be equipped with toilets, only in this way can the interests of the poor be protected!
After studying, Xue Zhaofeng made a surprising discovery: if low-cost housing is equipped with independent toilets, the poor cannot live at all. Separate toilets are standard for the rich, and public toilets are the preserve of the poor. Because the rent is very low, low-cost housing has become a scarce resource in every city, and many rich people want to covet this cheap.
If there is an independent toilet, then these Tang monk meat will be divided up by the rich and powerful groups, forming a social phenomenon of driving luxury cars and living in low-cost housing, and the poor will not be able to live.
Second, when it comes to equal pay for equal work, many people feel that only equal pay for equal work is the fairest.
Teacher Xue said that equal pay for equal work will be a devastating blow to the weak!
Let's say that two people apply for the same position together, the strong ability to pay 5000 yuan a month, while the weak ability is only 4500 yuan.
If the boss is less demanding on ability, it is likely that the latter will be hired out of cost considerations.
Then if there is a rule that equal work must be paid equally, the weak also need 5,000 yuan, and they are doomed to find a job.
Decisions that are superficially fair are more detrimental to the weak.
Third, why do you have to go to college?
Xue Zhaofeng said that going to college is not at all to learn any knowledge, but to send a signal to the society, academic qualifications are the lowest cost talent selection mechanism!
He wrote in xue zhaofeng's lecture notes on economics:
Going to college is not actually to learn knowledge, but to improve a skill called "learning ability", and at the same time send a "I am a talent" signal to the society.
Why do many schools now require 211,985? It is due to a low-cost talent selection mechanism.
As a recruiter, they can't spend a long time to deeply understand your past and background, the simplest and most cost-effective way is naturally to use academic qualifications to measure whether you are a talent.
In 1991, Xue Zhaofeng, who graduated from the Department of Applied Mathematics of Shenzhen University, devoted himself to academics and published hundreds of economic papers and articles in major magazines and journals at home and abroad, and was rated as "top person" by many well-known magazines and institutions.
For a time, it received countless praises and glory.
Until 2010, when he was hired as a professor at Peking University, Xue Zhaofeng's life seemed to have reached its peak. Xue Zhaofeng, who became a professor at Peking University, then embarked on the shuttle bus of Internet knowledge payment.
He has always insisted on telling economics to ordinary people, selling courses a year to earn 40 million yuan, the top of ordinary teachers' lifetime income, which has attracted countless praises and questions for a time.
A professor who is not good at teaching, runs to sell classes online, and becomes something!
Professor Wang Dingding of Peking University angrily scolded Xue Zhaofeng: The economics he talked about is third-rate knowledge, and first-class knowledge cannot be imparted!
Xue Zhaofeng's answer was sonorous and powerful: Knowledge is not divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and the depth and weight of knowledge are guided by understanding practical problems and taking understanding of practical problems as the criterion, and no knowledge is inherently superior.
Xue Zhaofeng said very reasonably, just as Confucius said: There is no class in teaching, and all kinds of people have the right to education. Instead of shelving knowledge on the shelf and not exposing it to the common people, as some scholars have suggested.
Just when everyone thought that he had made a lot of money, he made a decision that surprised everyone, and Xue Zhaofeng took the initiative to resign from Peking University, just so that he could continue to tell more people about economics.
In the past, big coffee like Xue Zhaofeng, lectures were in small circles, either for Peking University students, or for entrepreneurs, the appearance fee was at least more than 100,000, and ordinary people could not hear it at all. Now he has written a book, which can be bought for only a few dozen pieces.
Teacher Xue of Peking University not only summarized the essence of his lectures over the years, but also combined the economic problems that everyone will encounter in daily life, analyzed them from a professional point of view, and gave practical and feasible solutions that could be used.
If you want to clear the fog to see the operating logic of this world, and step less on the pit in the future life and work, this book is worth your look, and the link is here!
