Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up

Professor Wheaton tracks the causes of the housing bubble, bust and upcoming recovery. Current data point to a recovery in both prices and construction, and together these should begin contributing to aggregate economic growth for the first time in 5 years. Recent research also provides specific estimates of how rapidly house prices will recover in each metro area in order to generate that area's need levels of new construction.
