The Great Moderation, the Great Excess and the global housing crisis (2015, background): “That does not imply that, say Sweden and China, have converging political economies, but we do see the same tendencies towards commodification in both countries (e.g. Christophers, 2013; Hsing, 2010).”
The alternative financialization of the German housing market (2017, background): “…dramatic rise of finance has clearly resulted in over-leveraged and debt-fuelled housing markets, in other countries, the expansion of banks, finance and mortgages has not fully materialized or has followed a different pathway (see e.g. Christophers, 2013; Cusin, 2013; Fernandez & Aalbers, 2016).”
Segregation, gentrification, and residualisation: from public housing to market-driven housing allocation in inner city Stockholm (2014, background): “Christophers (2013) argues that Sweden now represents ‘a monstrous hybrid’ with clear signs of neoliberalisation but with considerable regulatory framing still in place.”
Parental co-residence, shared living and emerging adulthood in Europe: semi-dependent housing across welfare regime and housing system contexts (2016, background): “sector (Christophers 2013), means that access has decreased for younger generations.”
Centring Housing in Political Economy (2014, background): “…economically – for instance through preferential tax treatment – so the other tenure types have been ideologically and materially squeezed, even in nominally social-democratic states where tenure equality has long been brandished as a central political philosophy (Kemeny 1981; Christophers 2013).”
The false promise of homeownership: Homeowner societies in an era of declining access and rising inequality (2020, background): “Precisely because of a privileging of homeownership over other tenures, many countries have seen the retrenchment of policies that supported security outside of homeownership, such as the erosion of social housing, rent-control policies or rental tenure security (Flint, 2003; Christophers 2013).”
