Two special slides, one in front of one eye and one in front of the other eye, were placed in the housings of a synoptophore. The slides were originally designed for the diagnosis and measurement of cyclodeviation, but they were utilised in this study for the measurement of torsional fusional vergence. This was measured by rotating one of the housings of the synoptophore and noting the point of...

In 1995 the percentage of U.S. households identifying crime as a neighborhood problem remained about 7%, according to the American Housing Survey. 1 The percentage of households identifying crime as a problem had reached 7.4% in 1991 and was fairly constant afterwards. Somewhat similar to the Nation's general pattern of violent victimization rates, household perceptions of crime as a problem ro...

BACKGROUND Housing First is an effective intervention to stably house and alter service use patterns in a large proportion of homeless people with mental illness. However, it is unknown whether there are differences in the patterns of service use over time among those who do or do not become stably housed and what effect, if any, Housing First has on these differing service use patterns. This s...

The study empirically estimates the effects of four types of impact fees (road, school, park, and fire protection impact fees) on new and existing housing, as well as the fees’ differential effects on price as determined by housing quality. The results indicate that impact fees generally raise the price of new housing. Further, the magnitude and the direction of the housing price effect of indi...

Micro data over the life cycle shows different patterns of consumption for housing and non-housing goods: the consumption profile of non-housing goods is hump-shaped while the consumption profile for housing first increases monotonically and then flattens out. These patterns hold true at each consumption quartile. This paper develops a quantitative, dynamic general equilibrium model of life-cyc...

Since 1970, the share of income spent on housing grew along with incomes and the relative price of housing. This rising share is consistent with housing being a necessity when demand is sufficiently price inelastic. We estimate housing demand parameters using compensated and uncompensated frameworks over space and time, testing restrictions imposed by demand theory and household mobility. Estim...

Using MSA level data, the paper shows, that geographic areas which experienced the largest housing bubble generally suffered a more serious subsequent economic downturn. More specifically, the paper establishes that MSAs with larger declines in housing permits had larger increases in unemployment. There also appears to be strong evidence of a correlation between the magnitude of a housing boom ...

Abstract: Resident’s housing consumption and investment behavior is an important micro basis of housing policies in China, and has an important influence on the development of real estate market and the structure of housing supply. In this article, I developed a dynamic optimization model base on utility maximization to simulate the housing behavior of Chinese resident during all his life, and ...

Housing can be considered as one of the most important needs of each family and the provision ofsuitable housing for people has always been considered as one of the indicators of progress in any country. Because ofthe specific attitude to the issue of housing in Iran, in other words, turning it into an investment, the major part of thehouseholds' income has been accounted for housing. Given the...
