Max Krahé and Sara Schulte, "Housing Policy At An Expensive Dead End" (Dezernat Zukunft, 2026)
About this episode
Dr. Max Krahé and Sara Schulte discuss the implications of housing policy and government support for affordable housing.
If governments provide financial support for affordable housing, should they provide support for inhabitants directly, or rather for the construction of dwellings? Dr. Max Krahé and Sara Schulte both work for the German economic think tank Dezernat Zukunft, and they aim to answer this question by looking at the past. In this interview we discuss the research design, the conclusions, and also what policy implications they draw from their analysis. Want to know more? You can find everything about this housing analysis on Dezernat Zukunft. Additionally, Max Krahé provides an overview of Dr. Krahé's research projects. Geert Slabbekoorn works as a policy officer in the field of housing. In his free time he juggles, raises kids, and improves his languages. Learn more about your ad choices.
