The NSW Government's 2020 proposal to replace stamp duty on all properties with an annual tax based on unimproved land values is estimated to increase home ownership by 6.6%, through changes in purchaser holding periods, a shift of tax burden from investors to owner-occupiers and a relaxed deposit constraint. The model of home ownership highlights the importance of purchasers' holding periods, with implications for the effects of tax reforms, institutional ownership of rental properties and population growth. The paper provides an easily calibrated model of home purchases that could be used to quantify home ownership effects of various tax reforms.

Using a quarterly survey of 23,000 Australian retail equity investors, we study the relationship between beliefs about risk and returns and stock market intentions regarding holding, buying and selling. We provide evidence that investor intentions regarding buying or selling are primarily characterised by risk and return expectations, but sensitivity to their beliefs about risk and returns is greater for the intention to sell than to buy. In contrast, demographic factors such as gender, income and age play a key role in the decision to hold rather than trade. The results have significant ramifications for stock market participation and trading intensity in Australia.
