title: Public policy and residential mobility in Dutch cities.
abstract: "The role of government policy in the housing market is examined for its impact on residential mobility in medium-sized Dutch cities.  Mobility rates for these cities are regressed against in-migration rates, age and family composition variables, housing stock characteristics and measures of policy.  There is little relationship between in-migration and intra-urban movement.  After controlling for demographic and housing stock characteristics, the policy measures (the provision of subsidies for new construction and renewal subsidies) do explain a significant proportion of the variation in mobility rates across cities."  It is also found that "when the cities are grouped by mobility rate, the policy measures account for important proportions of the variance in two of the three groups of cities.  For the other group of cities housing stock characteristics are important explanatory variables."
