Opis: Milestones in European Housing Finance

This book provides evidence on how housing finance markets developed across Europe. The objective of the text is to bring together up to date material from across Europe which will help to clarify (i) how national housing finance markets have dealt with the challenges of deregulation and privatisation since the 1980s,(ii) how the financial crisis has impacted on the structure of the industry and the range of financial instruments available, (iii) how governments and the EU have responded to increasing risks and higher indebtedness in most West European countries and the need to grow new finance markets in Eastern Europe, and (iv) how changing housing finance markets impact on the capacity to provide adequate affordable housing into the future. From the Foreword by David Miles, Professor of Financial Economics, Imperial College, London 'The great strength of this book is that detailed and up to date information on housing finance systems is presented in a way which allows for informed comparisons between countries The result is that we have here a rich stock of information on the same fundamental set of characteristics of housing finance markets. Jens Lunde and Christine Whitehead have done a fine job in editing and assembling this volume. They also provide three overview chapters which draw out some of the lessons from the experience of this large group of countries A book like this which tracks the evolution of housing finance across countries and takes a detailed look at where we are now is immensely valuable.'Notes on Contributors xv Foreword by David Miles, Professor of Financial Economics, Imperial College, London xxi Acknowledgements xxiii 1 Introduction: Milestones in European Housing Finance since 1989 1 Jens Lunde and Christine Whitehead Why analyse developments in housing finance?
