  • Decline and depression: the impact of the global economic crisis on housing markets in two post-socialist states

Hegedüs, József, Martin Lux, Petr Sunega. 2011. „Decline and depression: the impact of the global economic crisis on housing markets in two post-socialist states“. Journal of Housing and the Built Environment. 26 (3): 315-333. ISSN 1566-4910.

The goal of this paper is to outline the main factors influencing the diverse consequences of the global economic crisis on housing and mortgage markets in two post-socialist economies—the Czech Republic and Hungary. In the former there was a mild decline of markets while in the latter there has been a depression of markets. The paper also contributes to the convergence and divergence debate on housing policies in Europe.
