Renda de €2300 é “moderada”? Novos contratos variam entre €482 e €1242 nos maiores concelhos
O valor máximo da renda “moderada” tem dominado o debate sobre habitação nos últimos dias. É muito elevado? Ou é ajustado aos novos contratos? Nos municípios com mais de 100 mil habitantes a renda med...

Economists have long been at odds. In the 18th century classical types sparred with mercantilists; the mid-20th pitted Keynesians against monetarists.

Donald Trump seems to have united the profession, however
Economists disagree about everything. Don’t they?
Their discipline is famous for its fissiparousness

à boleia da publicação dos dados mais recentes da OCDE sobre o aumento dos preços na habitação, partilhei com o @jornalexpresso.bsky.social algumas ideias sobre o tema

Habitação: limitações da oferta, lentidão de processos e custos elevados colocam Portugal no topo dos aumentos de preços da UE
<p>“Tem sido um padrão” ver Portugal no topo da lista dos aumentos de preços da habitação da União Europeia, afirma Ricardo Guimarães, diretor da plataforma Confidencial Imobiliário</p>
