DESCRIPTION
CO-SPONSERED BY ERC, ADEMUS, CFM and CEPR.
The availability of new micro data on mortgage originations, credit scores, loan applications, credit registry data as well as the breadth of policy interventions to support the housing market during and after the Great Recession has generated a renewed interest on the salience of housing cycles and the ability of monetary policy and macro-prudential regulation to tamper them through its effects on housing credit. A comprehensive characterization of the functioning of this credit market and an overall evaluation of the role it may play in altering the transmission of conventional and unconventional economic policies is the ongoing focus of intense empirical and theoretical investigations. This conference is aimed at advancing these new and exciting developments in macroeconomics.
