Access to affordable housing has been a long-standing issue for households in most cities. This paper reports on a study of house rent prices in Port Moresby, factors influencing them, and affordability of the prices. Data was obtained from houses that were advertised for rent in Port Moresby for a period of 13 months and were analysed using the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model. Th...

background: female labor supply has been changed dramatically in the recent yr. in this study, we examined the effects of development on the relationship between fertility and female labor supply. methods: we used data of population and housing census of iran and estimated three separate models. to do this we employed logistic regressions (blr). results: the estimation results of our study show...

This paper considers supply dynamics in the context of the Irish residential market. The analysis, in a multiple error-correction framework, reveals that whilst developers did respond to disequilibrium in supply, the rate of adjustment was relatively slow. In contrast, however, disequilibrium in demand did not impact upon supply, suggesting that inelastic supply conditions could explain the pro...

Abstract We use a large repeated cross-section of properties to estimate a selection model of the supply of owner-occupied and rental housing. We find that physical characteristics and unobserved quality and not location are important for selection. We interpret this as strong evidence in favor of contracting frictions in the rental market relating to maintenance and modification of physical ho...

• Recent years have seen higher house prices, greater house price volatility and worsening affordability. Housing output has been low, even in the boom. • There is resistance to top-down targets at the local level. Local hostility to new development is often driven by fears that adequate roads, schools and other services will not be provided. • Land supply is heavily constrained and available l...

Using overlapping generation model, we find that population ageing does restrain housing demand. Then, we use the panel data of China’s 31 provinces between 2002 and 2013 to confirm that ageing restrains housing demand, the process of urbanization does the opposite and maybe offsets the negative effect to some extent. At present, China should continue to focus on developing urbanization rapidly...

We provide empirical evidence that increases in housing rental income lead to a larger supply response than price of the same percentage value. rationalize this differential responsiveness with an amplification mechanism arising from downward revision capitalization rates following increase. document elasticity is less pronounced geographically constrained and tightly regulated neighborhoods ar...
