How Do Changes in Housing Voucher Design Affect Rent and Neighborhood Quality?
研究美国住房券租金上限的两种调整方式：一种提高整体慷慨度使房东受益但社区质量不变，另一种按社区租金指数调整使持券人迁入犯罪率、贫困率和失业率更低的优质社区。
US housing voucher holders pay their landlord a fraction of household income and the government pays the rest, up to a rent ceiling. We study how two types of changes to the rent ceiling affect landlords and tenants. A policy that makes vouchers more generous across a metro area benefits landlords through increased rents, with minimal impact on neighborhood and unit quality. A second policy that indexes rent ceilings to neighborhood rents leads voucher holders to move into higher quality neighborhoods with lower crime, poverty, and unemployment.
