Description
The Progress and Poverty Institute’s Progress of Ideas Grants support innovative research that advances Georgist ideas in relation to contemporary issues and social concerns. Separate from the Institute’s scholarship program, these grants support work across disciplines, including land use, taxation, public finance, housing, and social justice.
The latest call invites research or applied projects that expand the successful adoption of land value taxation, alongside work using the Mason Gaffney Digital Archive. Land value taxation projects may be theoretical, empirical, legal, computational, or strategic. Archive-based work may be disseminated through traditional academic or popular venues. Supported research has examined land valuation, the fiscal and distributional impacts of land value taxation, policy design, urban sprawl, and municipal land use.
