dc.description.abstract | The Mortgage Interest Deduction (MID) has been under hot debate since before the Tax Reform Act of 1986. This paper reviews the MID debate, focusing on its efficiency in promoting homeownership and its redistributional effects. I examine whether or not the MID promotes homeownership, reveal why it is often believed to fail to achieve its intended incidence, discuss which groups of people benefit from it, and present the most referred proposals to replace it. Based on this analysis, I advocate that the MID be reformed and call for a wider public recognition of the issues surrounding it. | |
