“…New rents did decrease which shows the efficacy of the policy on prices, but the study concludes that the protection of sitting tenants seems to come at an immense cost for people looking for a new rental apartment. These findings are reinforced by Hahn et al (2020) who had similar findings on the Berlin rent freeze.…”

The mission of the Economic and Social Research Institute is to advance evidencebased policymaking that supports economic sustainability and social progress in Ireland. ESRI researchers apply the highest standards of academic excellence to challenges facing policymakers, focusing on 12 areas of critical importance to 21st Century Ireland.The Institute was founded in 1960 by a group of senior civil servants led by Dr T. K. Whitaker, who identified the need for independent and in-depth research analysis to provide a robust evidence base for policymaking in Ireland.Since then, the Institute has remained committed to independent research and its work is free of any expressed ideology or political position. The Institute publishes all research reaching the appropriate academic standard, irrespective of its findings or who funds the research.The quality of its research output is guaranteed by a rigorous peer review process. ESRI researchers are experts in their fields and are committed to producing work that meets the highest academic standards and practices.The work of the Institute is disseminated widely in books, journal articles and reports. ESRI publications are available to download, free of charge, from its website. Additionally, ESRI staff communicate research findings at regular conferences and seminars.The ESRI is a company limited by guarantee, answerable to its members and governed by a Council, comprising 14 members who represent a cross-section of ESRI members from academia, civil services, state agencies, businesses and civil society. The Institute receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to support the scientific and public interest elements of the Institute's activities; the grant accounted for an average of 30 per cent of the Institute's income over the lifetime of the last Research Strategy. The remaining funding comes from research programmes supported by government departments and agencies, public bodies and competitive research programmes.

“…In paragraphs six to eight and in the first sentence of paragraph nine, we explain the negative effects of rent controls as shown by the scientific evidence (third element). In our case, we explain the negative, unintended consequences of rent controlswaiting lists, black market, poor maintenance, supply reduction-as shown in many empirical studies (Malpezzi, 1998;Sims, 2007;Mora-Sanguinetti, 2011;Andersson and Söderberg, 2012;Kattenberg and Hassink, 2017;Asquith, 2019;Diamond et al, 2019a,b;Kholodilin and Kohl, 2020;Hahn et al, 2021). Regarding the fourth refutational element (connecting with person's values), we (i) refer to the participant's potential fairness concern (see the first three sentences in paragraph four and the last sentence in paragraph nine), (ii) give the example of Stockholm in Sweden, a society with strong fairness concerns, and (iii) cite the study of Swedish researchers Andersson and Söderberg (2012) about the negative effects of rent control there.…”

“…The quantity of tenants willing to pay the controlled rent is higher than the supply of dwellings, so queues and a black market for rental contracts appear (Malpezzi, 1998;Andersson and Söderberg, 2012). 3 In the end, low-income tenants-young people and newcomers-are most likely to be harmed by this policy (Hahn et al, 2021;Kattenberg and Hassink, 2017). Alternative policies, however, such as tax subsidies for low-income households, are welfare increasing (Diamond et al, 2019b).…”

“…In order to estimate the potential effects of the Catalonia's rent control we use the differencein-differences methodology, which became quite standard for such a question setting; see, for example, Mense et al (2018); Hahn et al (2021) as well as the first study on the effects of Catalonia's rent control Monràs and Montalvo (2022).…”
