Description :
The role of government policy in the housing market is examined for its impact on residential mobility in medium-sized Dutch cities. Mobility rates for these cities are regressed against in-migration rates, age and family composition variables, housing stock characteristics and measures of policy. There is little relationship between in-migration and intra-urban movement. The policy measures (the provision of subsidies for new construction and renewal subsidies) do explain significant proportion of the variation in mobility rates across cities.
