The New Deal, Race, and Home Ownership in the 1920s and 1930s
研究1930年代新政住房政策对黑人和白人住房拥有率的影响,利用1920、1930、1940年家庭数据与460个州经济区的政策指标匹配分析。
Many federal government housing policies began during the New Deal of the 1930s. Many claim that minorities benefitted less from these policies than whites. We estimate the relationships between policies in the 1920s and 1930s and black and white home ownership in farm and nonfarm settings using a pseudo-panel of repeated cross-sections of households in 1920, 1930, and 1940 matched with policy measures in 460 state economic areas. The policies examined include FHA mortgage insurance, HOLC loan refinancing, state mortgage moratoria, farm loan programs, public housing, public works and relief, and payments to farmers to take land out of production.
