| đź”— Supply Constraints do not Explain House Price and Quantity Growth Across U.S. Cities | Schuyler Louie, John A. Mondragon, Johannes Wieland | This working paper challenges the standard view that local housing supply flexibility significantly impacts house prices, quantities, and population in response to rising housing demand.
