CRIW Conference on Measurement of Housing and the Housing Sector, Spring 2026

The 2026 CRIW conference will explore key drivers of the housing sector with a central focus on the measurement of housing prices, supply, quality, and costs. With rising housing costs and persistent supply-demand imbalances, researchers will examine factors such as land markets, government regulations, labor constraints, and macroeconomic linkages. The conference will emphasize the need for high-quality data and rigorous measurement techniques to inform policy and market decisions, with selected research papers published in a volume by the University of Chicago Press.
