Description:How have house prices evolved in the long-run? This paper presents annual houseprice indices for 14 advanced economies since 1870. Based on extensive data collection, weare able to show for the first time that house prices in most industrial economies stayedconstant in real terms from the 19th to the mid-20th century, but rose sharply in recentdecades. Land prices, not construction costs, hold the key to understanding the trajectoryof house prices in the long-run. Residential land prices have surged in the second half ofthe 20th century, but did not increase meaningfully before. We argue that before WorldWar II dramatic reductions in transport costs expanded the supply of land and suppressedland prices. Since the mid-20th century, comparably large land-augmenting reductions intransport costs no longer occurred. Increased regulations on land use further inhibited theutilization of additional land, while rising expenditure shares for housing services increaseddemand.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
