Abstract

A simple spatial equilibrium model with the peer group effect and local public finance can match several stylized facts of the labor market and housing market in the United States. Our counter-factual policy analyses generate further insights. First, the welfare of households can change as the government varies the location of public housing units with a neighborhood. Second, even though the public housing policy and housing voucher program deliver similar results at the household level, they are different as the former tends to benefit the offspring more, while the latter is the reverse. Third, combining school finance consolidation policy with public housing policy can lead to a Pareto improvement. Unfortunately, a policy that can benefit all agents, in the long run, may not be implemented as it can hurt some agents in the short run.
