Is Money Supply or Housing Supply the Cause of High House Prices? A List of References
I have written several articles in this blog on the causes of high housing prices, and they can be categorized into two main strands, namely (1) insufficient land or housing supply, and (2) too much money supply. Here is the list of literature for reference, including a list of references of my articles on this issue.
