Interested in how house prices impact government revenues and fiscal expenditures on items such as welfare, education and infrastructure?

@sebastiankohl.bsky.social and I explore this in our latest paper published open access in Housing Studies

Delighted to have had a paper accepted at Housing Studies with @sebastiankohl.bsky.social! We show house prices have positive effects on the fiscal capacity of states, enabling them to increase welfare and infrastructure spending, which is also reflected in their manifestos as house prices rise.
