To this end, I build a dynamic general equilibrium model with endogenous borrowing constraints where business cycle fluctuations are the result of TFP fluctuations and investment frictions. I identify land tax changes since 1984 as a possible source of investment frictions, the idea being that given a strong preference for debt-financing and widespread use of land as collateral in Japan, land tax changes will cause fluctuations in land price that can potentially affect output and investment by affecting borrowing capacity of firms. Calibrating the model using Japanese data and feeding in observed TFP and land taxes one by one and in unison, I find that TFP and land tax fluctuations can significantly account for observed fluctuations in output, but cannot account for land price fluctuations unless agents expect land tax changes to be permanent. I further identify redistribution of land holding between commercial and residential uses in response to land tax and TFP changes as an important channel through which the effect of these external fluctuations on output gets amplified. Observed data of land use in Japan provides evidence of such redistribution.

Perhaps that is why Jefferson chose the Charlottesville country side, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, to build his home, Monticello, and to found the University of Va. Charlottesville is a cultural hub permeating with a laid-back, enjoy-life attitude, and one of the best places to experience this first-hand is on the Historic Downtown Mall. Closed to vehicles, the Downtown Mall is a brick-paved, pedestrian-friendly row of lively restaurants, cafés, and bars—most with outdoor seating under the tall, shady oak tress, and many amplified in the evening with live local jazz, rock, funk, and more.
