Meeting commercial and social goals
Analyses of the impacts of the use of private finance by housing associations (HAs) across Europe regularly align with the hybridity in the social housing sector, linking private finance to a range of negative consequences related to the loss of social purposes by HAs. This article examines some of the implications of institutional investment for HAs in Britain to meet their economic and social goals. Using a combination of interviews with HAs an…
Private rental housing comparative perspectives
This book sets out to describe and understand similarities and differences in the role of private renting in advanced countries and to consider the impact of the credit boom and the subsequent glob
Making Progress in Housing
This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking book about fundamental methods in housing research. Sean McNelis argues that current housing research is flawed and requires radical transformation if it
Competition between social and market renting
Housing policies in many countries have become more market orientated as the role of governments has shifted from the direct supply and funding of non-market housing towards the role of a regulator and facilitator. Central to this development is the notion that providers of social housing have to become more competitive. Arguably, these social housing changes have important implications for the relationship between social and market rented housin…

Western European housing systems and the impact of the international financial crisis
The central proposition advanced in this paper is that differences in the structure of housing systems, and specifically the differences between dynamic and static housing systems, are crucial to an explanation of the varying impacts between countries of the international financial crisis. The proposition is illustrated with reference to Ireland, England, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. The impacts on housing markets and housing policies ar…
Competition and Social Rented Housing
This paper aims to make a contribution to the debate about the meaning of competition as applied to social housing and the usefulness of a competitive paradigm as a comparative analytical tool. Social housing providers have been asked to become more competitive and more market orientated in Europe. But what exactly do these terms mean and what are the defining features of competitiveness? And how can concepts of competition be applied to social h…
Implicit Land Taxation and Affordable Housing Provision in England
The paper considers the proposal in England that a continuing requirement for residential developers to contribute directly to the supply of affordable housing in return for planning permission should operate alongside a new tax on land value increases due to planning permission. The paper asks whether it is right in principle for affordable housing to be supported by the implicit taxation of development. It is argued that in terms of transparenc…

Housing Subsidies
In this paper the meaning of the term 'housing subsidy' is reviewed and the theoretical and practical problems of measuring the value of housing subsidies and making comparisonsbetween countries is demonstrated.The definitions of both 'subsidy' and 'housing subsidy' are questioned. The paper shows that what is and is not a housing subsidy is often ill defined. More rigorous analysis, it is argued, requires the use of 'benchmarks' against which th…
Institutional Structure of Social Housing Finance in the UK
It is argued that social housing in the UK currently faces affordability and investment problems. Rental payments are highly dependent on housing benefits and more investment, with higher rent levels and lower direct subsidy, requires more expenditure on housing benefits if affordability problems are to be avoided. The increasing role of private finance in funding housing association developments is reviewed. There is an examination of the instit…
Housing investment and social housing
The paper examines investment in social rented housing in France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. Although various indicators of investment are considered, social dwelling construction data are seen to be the only comparative measure available. The institutional arrangements in each country are considered together with the financing routes. An overview of the different policy approaches is provided. Explanations for differences in social ren…

Economic Theory and Urban Planning
The lack of a theoretical basis for urban planning is stressed. It is suggested that welfare economics could provide the means for analysing the problems and a framework for developing alternative courses of action. This is achieved by examining the concept of welfare optimisation, the optimality of perfect competition, and the nature of market failure
