Reviews for Housing Economics: A Historical Approach
“This scholarly and informative study presents a long-term economic perspective on a range of housing and urban policy issues. … the ways in which the authors have set their thought-provoking research into a wider housing policy context make this a valuable study both for academics and policy-makers.” (Robert Smith, International Journal of Housing Policy, Vol. 17 (2), March, 2017)
