Subject:
In the past decade, housing markets in Europe have experienced substantial price swings through a bust and surge in demand. Equality and fairness concerns have been a major reason for various types of government interventions in many countries. However, the recent strong increase in mortgage interest rates has slowed down demand for housing. As a result, new challenges surrounding the efficient functioning of housing markets, the necessity of those government interventions and equitable market outcomes have occurred. In this special issue we want to address the interactions between cyclical market developments, government policies, and housing outcomes at the macro and micro level.


Topics (include but are not limited to):

  • Implications of housing for wealth inequality
  • Neighbourhoods effects and inequality
  • The implications of social rent assistance for functioning of housing market
  • The pros and cons of homeownership
  • Financial risks in the housing market
  • Housing markets and the growth of cities
  • Housing and changing patterns of telework
  • Pricing in the housing market
  • Intergenerational mechanisms of housing
  • Housing affordability and energy
