US data since 1919 shows that volatility in building permits foreshadows financial market volatility. “Cities and states with more elastic housing supply consistently predict financial market downturns at 12-month horizons.”@cslapoint @CortesGustavoS

🚨 Excited to debut my new paper, "Housing Is the Financial Cycle: Evidence from 100 Years of Local Building Permits," joint with @CSLaPoint. We document that building permits predict financial market volatility across *a century* of U.S. economic history! papers.ssrn.com/abstract=485…

@YaleSOM's @cslapoint found in a new study that periods of rapid increases in building permits followed by quick declines predict subsequent booms and busts in both stock and bond markets. #business #housing #Finance #stocks #financialmarkets insights.som.yale.edu/insigh…

Housing policy researchers! As you plan your fall schedule, don't forget that JHEC is doing a special issue on upzoning (exciting & timely topic). Nov 30 deadline. @coulsoncommaed & I are reviewing submissions as they arrive. Send us your awesome papers!

Key takeaway: First-time homebuyers + renters 🏘️, who are more likely younger + lower-income, are least likely to benefit from property tax relief measures and often see affordability decrease.
On top of this, we hope our property tax atlas will spur more research in this area!
This work grew out of a panel discussion at the Spring National Tax Association meeting. The paper will appear soon in the National Tax Journal, but in the meantime, you can find the details here 👉 papers.ssrn.com/abstract=490…
