Fife council has stopped issuing House in Multiple occupation licenses in parts of St Andrews. How does that policy affect rent, property prices, and student housing? The goal is to evaluate quantitatively the impact of the HMO licences freeze on the St Andrews housing market. This means building an economic model of the housing market, gathering and using data to calibrate the model, and generating predictions with and without the HMO licenses freeze. The outcomes of interest include rent prices, student residential choice, property values.
