Search and Matching in the Housing and Labour Markets - The Interplay Between Housing Tenure, Employment Status and Market Outcomes

This book explores the dynamic relationship between housing tenure, employment status, and market outcomes through the lens of search-and-matching models. By focusing on search and matching as core features of the housing market trading process, it introduces a modern economic framework for analyzing housing markets.
Key topics include:

• The role of search markets in shaping housing prices
• Interactions between rental and sale prices of homes
• Connections between homeownership and unemployment
• The impact of housing needs on labor market policies

Designed for scholars and students of housing and labor economics, this book serves as both a comprehensive resource for researchers and a textbook for courses examining the interplay between housing tenure and labor market dynamics.
