Much talk about rent and housing problems this morning. We published a great short survey on rent controls, which should inform policy and research priorities.

Older people seem to benefit from medical marijuana legalisation through reduced mental distress, while recreational marijuana legalisation leads to increased mental distress for younger people, US evidence @voxeu https://t.co/S3wdV9FyT2

[Daniel Borbely @bodanieli]

Great to see our research on marijuana legalisation and mental health featured in a @voxeu column this week👇

[VoxEU @voxeu]

There is no evidence of an overall effect on #MentalHealth of #Marijuana legalisation in US states. However, effects differ across age groups and by pre-existing health conditions

[Daniel Borbely @bodanieli]

Overall, this is a complex issue. Attempts to ease the burden of high rents/bills on households are crucial to tackle the CoL crisis. But so are mitigation measures targeting the supply side (in this case, landlords). Otherwise, rent controls can do more harm than good. 7/7

[Daniel Borbely @bodanieli]

With today's SG announcement of a rent freeze for Scotland until March 2023, it feels like a good time to repost my article on rent controls - https://t.co/0aR02RSafh

A thread 🧵on the key takeaways 👇1/7

[Daniel Borbely @bodanieli]

For this reason, rent controls should be accompanied by policies that mitigate effects on landlords, so that they continue to invest in rental housing (instead of selling/converting properties). Building new homes also helps, but not in the case of a short-term freeze. 6/7

New paper🚨 My research on the labour market effects of housing subsidy cuts is now published in the Journal of Housing Economics.

Does rent control work? @EconObservatory https://t.co/L2n6sqn01m

[Koenfucius 🔍 @koenfucius]

It is tempting to think rent controls make housing more affordable. It does, but for fewer people, and with lower quality dwellings, and many more undesired side-effects, unless they’re accompanied by other measures, writes @bodanieli: https://t.co/H5rUwewKCt via @EconObservatory
