The first essay examines The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), which is the largest project-based housing subsidy in the United States. While the program has expanded subsidized housing to suburban areas, some suggest it continues to perpetuate race and income segregation like the public housing it replaced. Previous studies attribute this outcome to qualified census tracts, a location incentive within the program that motivates construction in high-poverty areas. This study finds that in addition to qualified tracts, rent incentives motivate the construction of tax-credit housing in neighborhoods that are already affordable to low-income families. This suggests that LIHTC subsidies may build housing in locations that generate profit for developers without providing additional affordable housing opportunities for low-income tenants.

520 $a The first essay examines The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), which is the largest project-based housing subsidy in the United States. While the program has expanded subsidized housing to suburban areas, some suggest it continues to perpetuate race and income segregation like the public housing it replaced. Previous studies attribute this outcome to qualified census tracts, a location incentive within the program that motivates construction in high-poverty areas. This study finds that in addition to qualified tracts, rent incentives motivate the construction of tax-credit housing in neighborhoods that are already affordable to low-income families. This suggests that LIHTC subsidies may build housing in locations that generate profit for developers without providing additional affordable housing opportunities for low-income tenants.
520 $a The second essay measures the educational returns to taking advanced courses in high school. A grant in California required a group of high schools to increase the number of Advanced Placement (AP) courses offered to their students. The grant provides an exogenous change in the number of AP courses offered in a school, which proxies for participation in advanced courses. I show that additional AP participation increases a high school's average SAT score and the fraction of college-bound graduates that attend more selective universities. Results not only confirm that advanced courses affect student outcomes, but also suggest that unequal access to an advanced curriculum is a long-term disadvantage to students from high schools with fewer resources.
520 $a The third essay examines parcel taxes, which are used to increase education funding in California. Because a parcel tax is a fixed tax on parcels, independent of property value, the tax price of increasing education spending by one dollar per student is constant across homeowners in each district. This paper links district-specific tax prices to parcel tax proposals that occurred between 1990 and 2007. Results indicate that districts with higher tax prices exhibit significantly less demand for education spending. This adds to a literature that measures how demand for education spending responds to tax prices. It also suggests that high tax prices could limit access to additional school funding for some districts.
