• Land Use Regulation and Welfare (2014, positive): “Mayer and Sommerville (2000), Ihlanfeldt (2007), and Saiz (2008) conclude that land use regulation restricts supply and drives up the price of housing. Each relies on an instrumental variable or exclusion restriction to identify the effect of land use regulation. Wallace (1998) relies on an exclusio”
• Residential Land Use Regulation and the US Housing Price Cycle Between 2000 and 2009 (2012, background): “On the other hand, speculative demands, if they are indeed triggered by extrapolations of past trends in house prices, are likely to be more severe in areas with inelastic supply, thus leading to greater busts, as in the simulated model of Malpezzi and Wachter (2005). The theoretical and empirical f”
• Upzoning Chicago: Impacts of a Zoning Reform on Property Values and Housing Construction (2020, background): “Prior research identifies a link between regulations that limit housing density and increased housing costs (Ihlanfeldt 2007), as well as higher land costs (Kok, Monkkonen, and Quigley 2014).”
• Supply Skepticism: Housing Supply and Affordability (2019, background): “Ihlanfeldt (2007) uses such an approach to study regulation in localities in Florida and finds that predicted regulations significantly increase the price of single-family homes.”
• Short-term rentals and the housing market: Quasi-experimental evidence from Airbnb in Los Angeles (2018, positive): “Most studies in this field show that housing supply constraints are associated with increasing housing costs, a strong reduction in new construction, and rapid house price growth (Glaeser et al. 2005, Green et al. 2005, Ihlanfeldt 2007, Hilber & Vermeulen 2016).”
• The Causes and Consequences of Land Use Regulation: Evidence from Greater Boston (2009, positive): “current zoning, which is the approach used by Ihlanfeldt (2007), offers the possibility of reducing the endogeneity problem of zoning rules.”
• Land use regulations and the value of land and housing: An intra-metropolitan analysis (2014, methodology): “…where evidence for the impact of land use regulations on housing prices is rather strong (Green et al., 2005; Huang and Tang, 2012; Saiz, 2010), predicted city level impacts of restrictions are less clear, especially on land prices (Glaeser and Ward, 2009; Ihlanfeldt, 2007; Ohls et al., 1974).”
• Housing, urban growth and inequalities: The limits to deregulation and upzoning in reducing economic and spatial inequality (2019, background): “Along these lines, a host of academic papers (e.g. Ganong and Shoag, 2017; Gaubert, 2018; Glaeser and Gottlieb, 2008; Hsieh and Moretti, 2015, 2017; Ihlanfeldt, 2007; Katz and Rosen, 1987; Kline and Moretti, 2014; Quigley and Raphael, 2005; Saiz, 2010) have made a set of inter-linked claims:”
