Effects of Residential Development Regulations

From: HUD USER News
 
The release of A Review of Regulatory Barriers to
Employer Ability to Recruit and Retain Employees marks
an effort by HUD's Office of Policy Development and
Research (PD&R) to improve knowledge of the impact of
housing supply on labor markets and local economic
growth. PD&R commissioned a comprehensive review of
the literature to explore the influence of residential
development regulation on housing markets, and the
subsequent impact on businesses, labor markets, and
regional economic competitiveness. The paper offers a
conceptual framework for thinking about how
development regulations intended to govern residential
construction might have secondary impacts on labor
supply and demand. It also highlights the data
constraints that make it so difficult to study the
impacts of residential development regulations on
housing markets and on overall economic activity, and
identifies the research questions most urgently in
need of attention.
 
A Review of Regulatory Barriers to Employer Ability to
Recruit and Retain Employees is available from HUD
USER, free of charge, at
