- Title
Rent Subsidies in the USA and Housing Allowances in the Netherlands: Worlds Apart.
- Authors
Priemus, Hugo
- Abstract
This article compares the American programs of rent subsidies with the Dutch system of housing allowances, emphasizing how these instruments of housing policy have been tailored to the situation in the respective countries. Economists in general and American economists in particular believe in competition and are usually unsympathetic to the idea of supply-side subsidies. If certain matters need government support, income tax credits are considered before subsidies.
