Tax deduons are graned o frms seng up n hese areas and reang obs loally. Followng he frs expermens n he US (n he 1980s) or n he UK and Frane (n he 1990s) an mporan body of empral leraure has esed wheher hese programs have reahed her obeves n erms of obs or busnesses reaons and provded low evdene of sgnfan dre effes semmng from loallyargeed E programs. However he purpose of hese E programs was ofen no lmed o he loal labor marke. n Frane he poles were exended o subsdes for loal home ownershp and soal housng landlords as well as o he developmen of publ amenes. n he US he federal E program launhed n 1994 also nvolved subsdes for soal serves and loal amenes. These measures may hus have mpaed he loal housng marke. Our goal s o exend he leraure on he magnude of E effe on loal home pres. n he US he number of sudes foussng on he real esae onsequenes of hese loally-argeed programs s lmed (see e.g. Engberg and Greenbaum 1999 Busso and Klne 2007 or Krupka and Noonan 2009). Mos of hem provded evdene of a sgnfanly posve bu moderae effe on propery values. To our knowledge he only sudy n Frane s a ompanon paper (Gregor and Maury 2014) pung he emphass on a very spef Frenh admnsrave un (he Sene-San-ens déparemen). We exend hs analyss and fous on he nner Pars housng marke. We use an negraed eonomer seup smulaneously assessng he possble effes of he loal program whn he boundares of he E and beyond he lms of he E. We rely on a a sree-by-sree mappng of Es. We esmae he spaal spllover effe wh a sem-paramer dsane-o-he-e-boundary graden funon. Consequenly we an es for he sgnfane of he E mpa on house pre levels whn argeed zones as well as on house pre gaps beween uns whn Es and uns n he vny of Es onrollng for he dsane beween hese wo uns. n Frane he E programs were naed a he end of 1996 (he Round program hereafer). Three ypes of argeed zones were defned wh a growng amoun of ax exempons: 750 US (ones Urbanes Sensbles) 416 RU (ones de Redynamsaon Urbanes) seleed among he 750 US) and 44 FU (ones Franhes Urbanes) were seleed and geographally-delmed among he mos dsressed US. The onenraon of argeed zones s relavely hgh n nner Pars wh 9 newly reaed US. We olle housng sales values prese loaon and arbues n 1996 and 1997 (.e. he year before and he year afer he program mplemenaon). We sele all pre-reform (1996) sales observaons whn or n he vny of a US.

The log of pre gaps (for reaed US or onrols whn or beyond he onsdered zone) are pooled and a parally lnear sngle-ndex model s esmaed. Among he lnear se of ovaraes we nlude he dfferene of he man house arbues of he referene and ounerfaual observaons.

Ths ype of splne offers an neresng rade-off beween he flexbly of he funonal form and he ompuaonal oss. We dee no sgnfan effe of he E program on housng values n Pars a leas n he shor run.

Many desrpve sudes have been publshed on he evaluaon of dfferen rounds of he Frenh E program wh onrasng onlusons (see Thélo 2004 Gll 2006 or Erns 2008). The wo mos sgnfan sasal onrbuons are Gobllon Magna and Selod (2010) and Gvord Rahelo and Sllard (2011). Gobllon e al. (2010) propose an assessmen of he effes of he frs round of he Frenh E program.

Comparng hese resuls for reaed munpales (hose nludng an E) and ounerfaual munpales wh smlar haraerss hey provde evdene of moderae bu sgnfan effes on he Frenh program n he shor run (.e. for he semesers mmedaely followng he poly mplemenaon).
