“…Geniaux & Napoleone (2011) used a difference-in-differences method coupled with a matching method to assess the effects of environmental zoning on urban growth and agricultural activity. Again using the difference-in-differences method, Simonnet & Danzin (2014) assessed the effect of income support on the return to work of recipients, and Bérard & Trannoy (2018) measured the impact of the 2014 increase in real estate transfer taxes on the French housing market.…”

Alongside this, quality standards have improved. Originally, publication was only subject to internal approval from above. Today, the manuscripts submitted are systematically assessed by anonymous reviewers as part of a standard peer review system. And the journal, like any academic journal, now has a formal governance structure with a Scientific Committee since 2003 and an Editorial Advisory Board since 2014.As a natural corollary of these changes, the papers published in the journal do not necessarily reflect the views of Insee. Indeed, the readers are systematically reminded that "the views and opinions expressed by the authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the institutions to which they belong or of Insee itself." This precaution is not always sufficient, and when there is a debate over a paper, it is often presented as "an Insee study". From my point of view as a publishing director, I find the confusion regrettable, although it does not, and indeed should not, cause us to avoid a subject or reject a paper on the grounds that it might generate controversy. In practice, informing debates cannot always be done by staying out of the debate.The editors have always been, and remain, committed to facilitating access to articles, in particular with the use of "boxes". While these were initially intended to accommodate the most technical developments so that they do not interfere with the ease of reading, they now contribute to a rigorous presentation of the sources used and their possible treatment. I am aware that this is not standard practice in academic journals, but I will nonetheless continue to defend the original model -an extremely useful model in my view -of a journal that sets high standards while at the same time striving to remain accessible to readers who may not necessarily be experts in the topics discussed.In very recent years, the journal has continued to evolve with the aim of achieving greater international openness. This is precisely why Économie et Statistique has become "Economie et Statistique/Economics and Statistics", published simultaneously in French and English, and both available on the Insee website. However, the journal has remained faithful to the same key principles, including openness to different topics and disciplines and a dual commitment to official statistics and research, which give it a distinctive place both at Insee and within the field of French journals.While I very much hope that this anniversary will be followed by many more, I would also like to thank the editors-in-chief we have had since 1969, the academics who have agreed to sit on the Scientific Committee over the past fifteen years, and all the reviewers working anonymously behind the scenes.

“…In addition to the above study on Toronto's LTT, studies using various methods around the world from places as diverse as France (Bérard and Trannoy 2017), Germany (Büttner 2017), New York City (Kopczuk and Munroe 2015), Washington, DC (Slemrod, Weber, and Shan 2017), Australia (Davidoff and Leigh 2013), and the United Kingdom (Besley, Meads, and Surico 2014;Best and Kleven 2017) all show the same result: LTTs substantially reduce the number of housing transactions. The world has also learned about the broader economic costs of these levies.…”

“…However, considering that a landlord also can deduct interest payments from declared rent, we consider that interest payments should be deductible. 8 In a competitive market, price increases could suppress the subsidy; however, these adjustments might be limited by frictions in housing markets (Wheaton, 1990;Desgranges & Wasmer, 2000) and large transaction costs (Bérard & Trannoy, 2018). Finally, in our main scenarios, we assume that imputed rents will not be subject to social contributions, considering that, contrary to the income tax, social contributions never included imputed rents in the tax base.…”
