In this paper we develop a measure of current expenditures on housing services for owner-occupiers. Having such a … measuring inflation. From a theoretical perspective expenditures equal the shadow price of housing services (the marginal rate … of substitution between housing services and non-durable consumption) multiplied by the quantity of housing services …

In this paper, I explore and explain how buy-to-let investors affect housing price dynamics. The impact of buy …-to-let investors on the housing market is much discussed by policy makers, but previously not considered in the literature. I develop a … structural search model that allows housing owners to buy second houses to let out, and let rents be determined endogenously. To …
