Happy that our research is covered in the @theguardian.com . Hopefully next time our names make it in too 😉.
Our latest research on inequality in housing space highlighting the role of overcrowding and under-occupation by @steinhardt.bsky.social @simonvoss.bsky.social & @sebastiankohl.bsky.social has been featured in @theguardian.com.
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
In a new policy with @sebastiankohl.bsky.social and @simonvoss.bsky.social, we spotlight an overlooked side of housing inequality: how living space is distributed. Both overcrowded and under-occupied homes have been rising in Germany in recent years.

(4) Sebastian Kohl, Max Steinhardt, and Simon Voss shift attention to an often-overlooked dimension of housing inequality: the distribution of living space. Overcrowding and under-occupation in the existing housing stock are rising. Policymakers should incentivize redistribution.
Happy to share that our research brief on housing space inequality in Germany will soon be published by the Progressive Politics Research Network!
This work, a collaboration with @sebastiankohl.bsky.social and @simonvoss.bsky.social , digs into who has access to space and how policy can address it.
🏘️ Bezahlbarer #Wohnraum wird zur sozialen & politischen Schlüsselfrage. Klimaschutz, Baukosten und soziale Gerechtigkeit müssen zusammen gedacht werden.
Worauf es ankommt, beschreiben Lisa Pfann (@fesonline.bsky.social) & Eike Windscheid-Profeta in unserem Interview: www.boeckler.de/de/interview...
Deadline 21 July.
Kohl and team are doing some of the most interesting research on housing and finance these days. And an excellent mentor and all around good guy.
Bonus: berlin
Deadline July 21st! www.fu-berlin.de/universitaet...
