📣 New paper alert: An Alpha in Affordable Housing?

A collaboration with Matthijs Korevaar and Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh.

We show that low-rent/low-income housing earns the highest returns for landlords in the US, Belgium and The Netherlands.

Please share to convince my coauthors to join Bluesky :-)

Very happy to see our paper on interest-only mortgages and house prices in the Journal of Urban Economics!

From 2003 to 2006, Danish house prices increased by 60 percent, in a robust regulatory design that limits housing speculation. This was a larger increase than in the US, Spain, or Ireland!
