This book explores the dynamic relationship between housing tenure, employment status, and market outcomes through the lens of search-and-matching models. By focusing on search and matching as core features of the housing market trading process, it introduces a modern economic framework for analyzing housing markets.
Key topics include:
The role of search markets in shaping housing prices Interactions between rental and sale prices of homes Connections between homeownership and unemployment The impact of housing needs on labor market policies
Designed for scholars and students of housing and labor economics, this book serves as both a comprehensive resource for researchers and a textbook for courses examining the interplay between housing tenure and labor market dynamics.
