Do transfer taxes reduce intergenerational transfers?
We estimate the effect of taxes on intergenerational transfers exploiting a sequence of Italian reforms culminating with the abolishment of transfer taxes. We use the 1993-2006 Survey of Household Income and Wealth, which has data on real estate transfers received and information on potential donors as well as recipients. Differences-in-differences estimates indicate that the abolition of transfer taxes increased the probability that high-wealth donors make a transfer by 2 percentage points and square meters transferred by 9.3 meters relative to poorer donors.
