Shock Hunting
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate housing price risks by examining the price diffusion process in different regions of Sweden. We model regional housing volatility as stemming from two sources: regional-specific shocks that reflect fundamental changes and regional-dependent shocks that reflect shocks in related regions. We evaluate the relative contributions of these two sources of regional price variations and measure shock persistence us…
Le logement social en Europe au début du xxie siècle
Le logement offre une excellente illustration de la difficulté à définir et à promouvoir un « modèle social européen ». Cet ouvrage, issu des travaux d'un atelier du GIS Réseau socioéconomie de l'habitat, est consacré à l'analyse des transformations du logement social dans l'Union européenne au cours des trois dernières décennies. Centré sur les pays d'Europe de l'Ouest qui furent à son origine : Angleterre, Allemagne, Autriche, Danemark, France,…

Municipal Housing Companies in Sweden – Social by Default
An important issue in Sweden is the extent to which the public (or municipal) housing sector is a tenure form open to everyone and is on a level playing field with other tenure forms. The issue became more important when the European Union stated that public companies must have a pronounced social role, given their favourable institutional position. This paper reveals that vulnerable families are overrepresented in public housing, compared to oth…
Reducing Housing Subsidy
Swedish housing policy was dramatically changed during the 1990s. A traditional formally tenure-neutral and generous subsidy system has been replaced by much lower levels of assistance, more directed at lower-income households and depressed areas. This paper sets the Swedish policy in an international context as part of a much more general pattern of reduced and rebalanced expenditures associated with liberalisation and the transfer of risk. The …
Social Housing Finance in Sweden
Sweden historically had a highly subsidised housing construction and rehabilitation. Subsidies were mainly channelled through an interest subsidy system, which reduced initial capital expenditures. A boom in the housing market in the late 1980s turned into a 'bust' in the early 1990s. This was due to a combination of factors: a lower inflation rate, a deep economic recession and reduced interest subsidies in combination with a tax reform. The eff…
Municipal housing companies in Sweden
Sweden has a tradition of a housing policy with large, general subsidies and a public housing sector competing on equal terms with the private rented sector. This policy is now threatened by a depressed economic situation with increased income differences between households, occurring at the same time as government has decided to cut back on general housing subsidies. The new situation has placed municipal housing companies in a complicated situa…
Maastricht treaty
European integration will have several effects on national housing policies. The major responsibility for policy formulation and policy implementation in housing will remain with national and local governments. Nevertheless, the Maastricht Treaty will have important implications for housing through several channels: factor mobility, competition policy and liberalisation of markets, economic growth, lower inflation, cuts in government spending, ta…
Housing finance in the Nordic countries
The aim of this article is to describe and compare the housing finance systems in the Nordic countries from a housing policy perspective. The starting point is the obvious similarity between the countries in economic, cultural, geographical and historical respects. While a housing consumption goal is important to all these countries and in spite of their similarities, the countries have chosen quite different housing finance systems. It is sugges…
