Exact excerpt

Recent empirical evidence shows that contractionary monetary policy raises U.S. housing rents even as house prices fall. I show that this response reflects a shift in housing demand toward renting in segmented housing markets: tighter credit raises the cost of owning for constrained households, and costly reallocation of housing into rental use limits the supply response, so rents rise.
