This paper analyzes the relative merits of large place-and tenant-based housing programs in Finland in terms of housing affordability and neighborhood quality. Using hedonic regression methods and household micro data, we find that rent savings to public housing tenants are less targeted towards low-income households than housing allowance. In addition, low-income public housing tenants live in poorer, less educated and lower quality neighborhoods than similar low-income households in private rental housing. This suggests that place-based programs may lead to more segregation than tenant-based alternatives even when neighborhood mixing is an explicit aim of the program, as in Finland.

Can big data increase our knowledge of local rental markets? A dataset on the rental sector in France

“…Finally, we also use these data to calibrate hedonic models in order to predict the rental value of transactions and social dwellings, which we provide as an additional output of our paper. The estimated rent for social dwellings allows us to document the spatial disparities in the in-kind subsidy received by social tenants in France, which tends to be positively correlated with the income of these households, confirming more systematically previous findings based on local [ 39 , 41 ] or international [ 42 ] studies.…”

“…As a consequence, the correlation between income and subsidy is smaller within agglomerations. Overall, our results are in line with previous findings in Finland [ 42 ] where it has been shown that social housing are less redistributive than housing allowances as they are harder to concentrate on poorest households.…”

Housing Policy: An Analysis of Public Housing Policy Strategies for Low-Income Earners in Nigeria

“…In general, housing policies and programmes are aimed at promoting housing affordability for low-and middle-income households [3][4][5] and at national and regional levels of governments. An adequate housing policy has different intervention mechanisms and strategies that can be utilised to provide housing to low-income households.…”

Formation of the actual typology of urban multi-apartment dwelling based on the principles of minimalism and autonomy of residential complexes

“…Studies are dedicated to the analysis of modern urban dwelling consider the current situation in the housing market and existing problems, but do not fully consider the formation of a new typology as a way to solve them [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Within the framework of this study, works related to housing intended for young urban residents are interested in [9][10][11][12][13].…”
