The Economic Effects of Public Housing in Australia

Author

  • Agrawal, Nisha

Abstract

Public housing provides subsidized shelter to approximately 300,000 families in Australia. This paper provides the first estimates of the effects of the program on the consumption pattern of participants, and of the benefits they derive from it. It also examines the distribution of benefits among participants. The effects of the public housing programs are compared with those under an alternative program of equivalent-value, unrestricted cash grants. Copyright 1988 by The Economic Society of Australia.
