MB presentation: housing supply & price volatility

Sunday 17 February 2013

Please find below a PowerPoint presentation entitled Housing Supply & Price Volatility that I presented last Thursday to a mortgage risk roundtable in Melbourne.

The presentation discusses how markets with unresponsive (inelastic) land/housing supply tend to suffer from higher house price volatility and bigger boom and bust cycles than markets where land/housing supply is relatively responsive (elastic) to changes in price.
