Abstract
Housing allowances should enable economically weak households to accommodate in

good

qualitatively housing

.

Utilising a special feature of the

Norwegian h

ousing allowance system

,

we study how

housing allowances affect the incidence of

crowded living and mobility. We

investigate housing market behaviour in a treatment group in a situation in which variations in

housing situation feeds directly into variations in the amount of hous

ing allowances received

.

This is

compared it to the behaviour of a control group in a situation where variations in the

housing market behaviour do not feed into variations of the amount of housing allowances

received.

Our empirical analyses reveal that

t

he probability of moving out of crowded housing

conditions is 14 percent higher among housing allowance receivers whose amount of housing

allowances is affected by marginal variations in the pre

-

allowance housing expenses, than in

the control group

. The fi

ndings of this paper could have implications for the way housing

allowance systems is designed and revised.
