Long-Term, Multicountry Perspective on Rental Market Regulations

“…Therefore, Berlin and New York are more friendly to rent control than are smaller towns and countryside regions. As shown by Kholodilin, Kohl, Prozorova, and Licheron (2018), the homeownership rate worldwide increased between 1950 and 2008, such that the proportion of renting households declined to less than one third of all households. However, after the Great Recession, and in some countries (e.g., Argentina) even earlier, the trend reversed.…”

Resurgent landlordism in a student city: urban dynamics of private rental growth

“…Some of these policy changes are indirect, such as the residualization of social rent and restricted mortgage-credit access discussed above. Other efforts are more direct and essentially entail the liberalization of rental markets as well as the gradual weakening of tenant rights (Kholodilin et al, 2018). This is also true in contexts where tenant rights have traditionally been strong.…”

Measuring and Comparing the Regulatory Welfare State: Social Objectives in Public Procurement

“…Regulatory indices are typically built on broad topic categories such as housing (Kholodilin et al 2019), data protection (Mizrahi-Borohovich and Levi-Faur 2020), or financial services (Hartlapp and Rauh 2013). Within each topic, a number of goals and strategies can be identified to address an existing policy problem.…”

“…In the words of Mizrahi-Borohovich and Levi-Faur (2020, 113), these strategies create sub-regimes. For example, in housing we can differentiate sub-regimes for rent control, tenant protection, and the rationing of rental housing (Kholodilin et al 2019). Following our research interest, we have selected those sub-regimes for analysis that follow a social objective, as conceptualized here.…”

“…Against this background, and building on advances in macro-qualitative policy analysis (Steinebach and Knill 2017;Deakin, Lele, and Siems 2007;Caughey and Warshaw 2016;Kholodilin et al 2019), I develop an index that translates the substance of policy documents into numeric values across three dimensions of regulation: a qualitative assessment of policy substance, its potential impact, and enforcement of regulation. Extending the policy-cycle in this manner allows us to move beyond the focus on formal regulatory output prevalent in existing studies (Guidi, Guardiancich, and Levi-Faur 2020, 8), and to work toward practical relevance for a society.…”
