The impact of rent control on rents in the free sector
Economic equilibrium ; Housing ; Housing market ; Market regulation ; Model ; Rent control
This note provides a simple analysis of the impact which rent control and non-price rationing exert on the rent in the free sector. It is shown that, depending on the rationing mechanism, rents in the free sector can be higher or lower than

This paper discusses the rationale behind rent control and analyses its effects using a capital theory framework in combination with traditional bid rent analysis. The hypothesis is that in addition to the reasons given by others authors, rent

The AA. report findings of interviews with housing benefit claimants whose eligible rent for housing benefit was less than the contractual rent agreed with their landlord. Linking into debates about the usefulness of the concept of strategy
in social analysis, they consider whether the claimants pursued strategies in coping with the shortfalls in their eligible rent for housing benefit.
A recursive model is used to estimate rent and selling price equations in order to determine the effect of favourable financing on each variable. The results indicate that below-market financing has a negative effect on rent and a positive effect

L'A. étudie les déterminants de la rente foncière capitalisée en réexaminant l'hypothèse de la différence de rente et les recherches dans ce domaine. Il montre que le problème de l'échelle est posé implicitement. Il est possible de déterminer la
rente foncière à deux échelles au minimum, ce qui conduit à au moins deux rentes foncières différentes. Les affirmations de Bourassa sont ainsi démenties, et les fondements théoriques sont consolidés.
A hedonic analysis of rent and rental revenue in the subsidised and unsubsidised housing sectors in Geneva

An analysis is made of what would be the rent difference for the tenants of subsidided units if these units were rented as unsubsidised units. The existence of any pecuniary disadvantage for the owner of a subsidised unit is investigated

Neil Smith's rent gap hypothesis has attracted the most attention within several competing theories of gentrification. Three propositions are evaluated with data assembled for metropolitan Adelaide, Australia. Shifts in matched land and house price
gradients between 1970-85 reveal the existence of a well-formed rent gap by the late 1960s and its steady contraction thereafter.
A model of a small, open central business district (CBD) is used to derive the conditions that define the market-equilibrium and rent-maximizing CBD. It is shown that, in general, the market equilibrium CBD radius differs from the rent-maximizing

China's urban housing marketisation hinges on a sensible ratio of housing price to rent. This research derives a rational level for such a ratio and examines its distortions under the Chinese system. It shows that the prevailing housing price

Land rent escalation, which tends to limit rural-urban migration, provides an important additional force that may help determine city sizes in developing countries. The paper provides an alternative to this analysis by assuming that urban residents
smooth their income as they cycle between formal and informal employment. This allows migration decisions to be based on the expected wage, as in the usual framework, in a model that includes a land market.
Outcomes in private markets for rental housing are seen as a consequence of a shift in demand or supply that may itself reflect a policy initiative. Two markets are examined: a market for rental housing stock and a market for rental accomodation
