Ante los que proponen excluir en la sanidad, defendamos su acceso universal. Ante quienes proponen usar a los migrantes solo como mano de obra temporal y precaria, defendamos papeles y derechos. Para no dejar a nadie atrás en la pandemia la respuesta es la #RegularizaciónYA

Absolutamente incapaz de ver completo el vídeo del asesinato de George Floyd a manos de un policía. Absolutamente horrorizado ante la impunidad de la supremacía blanca. Y absolutamente convencido de que el antirracismo debe ser un eje central de nuestras vidas. #JusticeForFloyd

Last days to apply to the IEB PhD Scholarships. One to do research on Urban Economics (bit.ly/2UYjjgt) and the other one on Public Economics (bit.ly/30WDv6m). Do not miss the Call!!!

Acaban de abrir la puerta a que cualquier vivienda se convierta en un alquiler turístico 365 días al año. Todo esto mientras impiden la limitación de precios que ellos mismos firmaron. Barra libre a la especulación. Y en plena pandemia. amp.elperiodico.com/es/economia/20…

🏡Que la solución a la crisis habitacional en el alquiler, sea que los propietarios puedan convertir sus pisos en pequeños hoteles es descabellado. Se perdió la oportunidad de reconducir miles de viviendas y habitaciones turísticas al mercado estable 👇🏾 naciodigital.cat/noticia/206918…

Very interesting article on the impact of a vacancy tax on housing affordability, a municipal tax on vacancy can influence the behavior of owners of vacant units.

"There is no generational solidarity in the term millennials. (...) the fault lines that are now becoming highly visible – between millennials who stand to inherit assets and those who don’t – have been produced by four decades of property inflation" theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Really interesting article! In Egypt, 98% of the infrastructure budget benefits only 2% of Egyptians. What are the consequences of building "New cities" focused on attracting upper-income people?

Very proud and happy to see these amazing young researchers ready to start very promising careers.

"A lack of financial support would affect both renters and their landlords, potentially forcing many individual landlords to sell their properties and leaving renters with even fewer affordable housing options."

Excited to start today the Ph.D. Student Seminars with Bernat Mallén & @fsaravia15. If you are a student, you are welcome to join us!

Hi #EconTwitter! I'm a Ph.D. candidate at UB School of Economics working on urban economics. I'm on the job market and would like to tell you about my jmp: shorturl.at/ejkBK "Mom, Dad: I'm Staying. Initial labor market conditions, housing markets, and welfare” 🚨JMP thread🚨

Friends, I'm very excited to share some new work: a series of briefs comparing rental housing markets in France, Germany, Japan, Spain, the UK, and the US. This is a collaborative effort with some amazing housing scholars (tagged below). brookings.edu/essay/intro-re…

Contrary to most OECD countries and with public policies oriented towards home ownership, social housing in Spain is negligible, accounting just for 1.6% of homes. Join us tomorrow to learn more about Spain’s rental housing market and other countries. #RentalHousing

La (decadente) inversión pública en vivienda en España: ❌ En dos décadas se ha recortado a la mitad. ❌ Actualmente somos tercer país europeo con menor inversión (como % PIB). ❌ Es el único gasto público que ha disminuido en 20 años.
