dc.description.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. | en_US |
