[naeini1]  housing is the third top factor in human life, after food and clothing in all communities. many variables are involved in determining housing prices and it is impossible to ignore housing feedback. one of the powerful tools to determine the impact of policies in this field is using system dynamics approach. according to this approach, the cause-and- effect diagram of factors affectin...

Many older American cities lost population during the last three decades of the twentieth century, but while cities such as Boston or New York saw numbers of dwelling units remain stable or even increase, others such as Buffalo, St. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, and Pittsburgh lost large fractions of their dwelling units. This study decomposes decadal population changes from 1970 through 2000 for ...

Cities are physical structures, but the modern literature on urban economic development rarely acknowledges that fact. The elasticity of housing supply helps determine the extent to which increases in productivity will create bigger cities or just higher paid workers and more expensive homes. In this paper, we present a simple model that provides a framework for doing empirical work that integr...

Just like any other economic field, housing market has two basic foundations which are demand and supply. Its obvious that disequilibrum between these foundations, will drasticaly affect the housing affordability and can also lead to wide slump in many markets. That’s why, policy makers usually intend to stimulat the supply by means of providing low intrest loans, low priced land, etc. In this ...

This paper studies the links between housing policies and aggregate energy use in the U.S. I connect two strands of literature on cities–that cities vary in their per capita energy use and in terms of housing supply elasticity–to measure the e↵ects of location choice and housing consumption on aggregate energy use. I build a dynamic spatial equilibrium model of U.S. metropolitan areas, accounti...

housing is one of the economic major sectors of the macro economy of country and micro economy of the household. changes in home prices, including consideration of issues in recent years . in this regard, several studies for examining the determinant variables of housing supply and demand and prices have been. this article attempts with using of model dissimilar variance household arch, paying ...

We examine the influences of urban redevelopment costs and land-use allocation efficiency and equity on the elasticity of housing development density with respect to urban demand shocks in the context of China’s urban growth from 1998 to 2004. We do so in an inter-city spatial equilibrium framework, where demand shocks are capitalized in urban land rent growth, which influences urban population...

The main objective of this paper is to give an overview of the most commonly used housing policies and to illustrate their economic impact. To facilitate the analysis, we first introduce a simple two-period housing demand model for owner-occupied houses and rental houses. We then add a standard stock-flow housing supply model. Using this modelling framework, we explain the qualitative effects o...

Abstract: Resident’s housing consumption and investment behavior is an important micro basis of housing policies in China, and has an important influence on the development of real estate market and the structure of housing supply. In this article, I developed a dynamic optimization model base on utility maximization to simulate the housing behavior of Chinese resident during all his life, and ...

Numerous empirical studies have examined the effect of growth controls on housing prices.’ These studies have used many different techniques ranging from hedonic price model estimation to paired comparisons but have all come to the same conclusion: growth controls raise the price of housing. In theory, there are both demand and supply side explanations (which need not be mutually exclusive) for...
