Abstract

In this article the author examines aspects of U.S. housing policy in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2008-09. The author notes that between the years 2000 and 2010 the U.S. housing market underwent extremes of prosperity and financial failure as home prices rose precipitously, and then fell following the financial crisis. A number of topics are addressed including fluctuations in the construction industry, the sharp increase in home prices in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Phoenix, Arizona, and the tax deduction for mortgage interest on homes.

Housing Policy in the Wake of… : DASH Story 2016-10-20
I am a PhD economist from a top school. I have taken a gap year, after leaving a tenure track job at a small liberal arts institution. I have a visiting position at a major policy institution. However, because I have no formal affiliation at present, I have limited access to scholarly articles. I am schedule to present at two major conferences in the next six months and open access resources allow me to continue to do scholarly work without hiccup. This is a fundamental way to ward away rapid deterioration of skills and forced exit from the workforce for skilled people like me, who have to take unconventional paths due to personal issues.
