GSE Performance, Influence, and Impact

From: HUD USER News
 
Policymakers have adopted a variety of approaches to
promote homeownership in the U.S., including the special
rights and privileges given to the government-sponsored
enterprises (GSEs), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Alternative Assessments of GSE Performance, Influence,
and Impact 1993-2003, a new study from HUD's Office of
Policy Development and Research, examines the
underserved market performance of the GSEs since new
affordable housing goals were adopted in 2000. Their
performance is compared with the primary mortgage
market, the secondary market, and to each other. The
analysis also examines the extent to which GSEs buy
loans directly from the primary market, or indirectly
from secondary entities, as well as the effects of GSE
leadership and influence on the primary market. The full
report, including a number of tables showing trends from
1993 to 2003, is available as a free download from HUD
USER at
