چکیده

We explore the impact of local economic conditions on the type and size of newly constructed housing. A slightly modified standard open monocentric city model predicts that, as long as land use regulation is relatively lax, positive local income shocks cause construction of more multifamily housing and smaller units. Exploiting metro area-level American Housing Survey (AHS) data from 1984 to 2004, we confirm that (i) local economic shocks have the predicted effects, (ii) these effects are confined to metro areas with relatively lax land use regulation, and (iii) the adjustment process appears to be driven by migration (as is assumed in the open monocentric city model). Hence, severe land use controls may hamper metro area labor market adjustment not only through limits on the quantity of newly supplied units, but also by constraining their type to housing that is less suitable for migrants. JEL classification: R11, R21, R31, R52.
