This working group accepts papers on all aspects of private rented markets. In line with the theme of this year’s conference the working group is particularly seeking papers on the challenges currently faced by the wider “housing” economy and the place of the private rented sector within this changing environment. Previous themes will be expanded such as the role of the sector in providing for low income groups, the emergence of the sector within an enlarged Europe, the transitional role of the sector and its place in the face of more restricted access to homeownership and the impact of the global financial crisis on supply within the sector.
Papers are also welcome on a wide range of themes; previous areas discussed within the group have included comparative regulatory frameworks, investment models, tenant satisfaction, immigrant communities within the sector and the role of the sector in homeless provision.
All enquiries about the workshop should be sent to Aideen Hayden (aideen.hayden@ucd.ie) or Bob Jordan (bob@threshold.ie).
