'Aangepast woonplan gaat het fundamentele probleem niet oplossenβ
Volgens Hans Koster, hoogleraar Stedelijke Economie en Vastgoed, wordt het met de restricties alleen maar lastiger om meer te bouwen.
Yesterday on BNR Radio: Minister for Housing, Mona Keijzer, aims to ease regulations on housing construction, particularly by streamlining procedures for inner-city development. However, I am afraid this adjustment will not deliver the 100,000 homes the government promised for 2025.

We empirically investigate how rent control combined with the use of a non-market allocation mechanism β centralised waiting lists β affects the efficβ¦
In #publichousing systems rents are below the market level, implying a #rationing problem. How do you then ensure that you allocate housing to the person who values it the most? We study the #efficiency of the allocation in the Dutch public housing system in our Journal of Public Economics paper.

π Lees gratis: De Egyptische hoofdstad-in-aanbouw lijkt vooral voor de rijken bestemd
Ruim tien jaar wordt er al gewerkt aan de bouw van een nieuwe Egyptische hoofdstad. Met de uittocht van bewoners, bedrijven en ambassades uit het overbevolkte CaΓ―ro wil het nog niet zo vlotten. Is het...
An article in @fd.nl discusses Egyptβs new capital, including my quotes on how agglomeration economies and amenities affect the success of this project. The new capital risks increasing inequality between rich residents in the new city and poorer people left behind in a dysfunctional metropolis.
