Developments in Housing and Energy Cost and Policy Responses from Comparative Perspective
摘要
This chapter draws comparative conclusions across all 14 case study countries presented in the edited volume (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland and the United Kingdom). It consists of a general overview on the developments for housing and energy cost across the countries involved in this volume. During the analysis, different patterns of development dealing with different temporal dynamics, relevance of cost components as well as tenure and spatial aspects will be described. The chapter also presents a comparative overview over government policy responses within the different realms. After the two descriptive parts, conclusions will be drawn and an outlook for future EU action in housing policy will be sketched.
