| Research Abstract |
This research project studies the crowd-out effects of public housing and the efficiency of rent subsidies to evaluate housing subsidies in Japan.
The empirical result reveals that rental housing provided by local government crowds out less private rental housing than rental housing provided by public corporation does. I show that the degree of crowd-out is different across places according to the excess demand for public rental housing, the distribution of household income, and the size of a house. In addition, I build a database to empirically explore the effects of rent subsidies on rents in Osaka.
