The Friedman Forum series offers students an opportunity for informal discussions with prominent economists.
Housing is an essential sector of the economy but also one that has been a source of vulnerabilities, and a key factor in debates over equity and economic access. On March 7, Harris School of Public Policy Professor Peter Ganong joined The Atlantic’s Jerusalem Demsas to discuss policies impacting homeownership, the housing crisis, and homelessness in America.
Demsas covers housing and other domestic economic policy issues for The Atlantic. Her work covers a range of issues, including the future of American cities, exclusionary zoning policies at the state and federal levels, the homelessness crisis, and rising housing affordability concerns.
Additional Materials from Discussion
- George Stigler – The Theory of Economic Regulation, The Bell Journal of Economics and Management Science
