Abstract

JERER Guest editorial 9,1 This Special Issue is devoted to the impact of the housing mechanism in economic imbalances in relation to the different macro-perspectives of European markets. Over the past decade, and especially since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), housing market research has acquired a macroeconomic profile, in which researchers have reverted to principles relating to housing prices and financial influences. As the GFC was associated with financial and derivatives markets’ collapse, the implications of imbalances in housing markets have been recognized as a key element contributing to the macroeconomic disequilibrium. As a consequence of the GFC, the European Union’s Economic Imbalance Procedure (EIP) was implemented recognizing that housing price change is an early variable to follow regarding countries’ imbalances. Furthermore, the GFC aftermath is far from being fully understood because of the differences in housing market reactions to similar incentives among developed economies and their effects on the aggregate economies.
