Abstract:
In its recent history, Germany has faced many serious economic crises. Remarkably, these crises all had a completely different impact on local housing markets. Some crises occurred at the national level, while others only took place at the regional level. Interestingly some crises were seemingly unnoticed by the German housing market. Hence, the question arises why the German housing market reacted differently to these crises and to what extent economic policy decisions were involved.
