This article outlines the most significant features of the housing boom and explains how it generated and disguised crucial risks in the macro economy and public finances, among mortgage lenders and in the finances of individual households. This is followed by an outline of the key features of the unwinding of the boom since and of its implications for the Irish economy, mortgage lenders and households. The conclusions examine the lessons regarding appropriate regulatory and policy responses to a house price boom which arise from the Irish experience. | Type of material: | Journal Article | Publisher: | Springer | Journal: | Journal of Housing and the Built Environment | Volume: | 29 | Issue: | 2 | Start page: | 299 | End page: | 315 | Copyright (published version): | 2014 Springer | Keywords: | Mortgage; Credit crunch; Housing finance | DOI: | 10.1007/s10901-013-9384-z | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Peer reviewed |
