住房政策的局限性:政策的初衷与实施效果的背离

在房价上涨过快的背景下,基于舆论的压力,政府常常会出台一些旨在稳定房价、解决住房短缺问题的政策,然而有些政策的实施效果却常常背离政策的初衷.回顾了美国40年代实施的房租管制,并分析了中国正在实施的提高税收和经济适用房政策,发现这些政策的实施效果大都适得其反,不仅没有达到预期的目标,反而使得住房问题恶化.

Limitations of housing policy: intention and deviation of performance

Under the background of the fact that house price rises too fast and because of the pressure of the public opinion, the government often issue some policies aiming at stabilizing house price and solving the housing shortage problem. However, the implementing effects of some policies often deviate from the original intention of the policy. In this paper, we reviewed the rent control policy that American government implemented in the 1940's and further analyzed China's on-going policy of raising tax rate and providing economic and functional house. At last, we find that implementing effects of these policies all run counter to desire. These policies have not reached the anticipated goals, but they make the housing problem worse.
