Macroprudential Policy and the Housing Market - 9th March 2020 |
||
| Description House prices and household indebtedness have increased substantially in Luxembourg and other countries over the last decade. This has raised concerns that households could be vulnerable to a fall in house prices, and led some observers to call for the use of macroprudential policy. In this event, Prof. Daniel Greenwald from MIT Sloan will present his work on macroprudential policy and the housing market. The presentation will be followed by a round table on macroprudential policies and the housing market with a view on learning from international experiences.
