Colburn Authors Oxford Bibliography and has Research Referenced in The 2024 Economic Report of the President
CSDE Affiliate Gregg Colburn’s (Real Estate) research was cited in the Council of Economic Advisors 2024 Economic Report of the President, which covers some of today’s most pressing economic issues. Colburn’s research appears in Chapter 4, entitled “Increasing the Supply of Affordable Housing”, showing that high rates of homelessness are tied to regional variation in housing costs and availability, not higher incidence of mental health issues, substance abuse, or generosity of the local safety net. Colburn also authored a new entry in Oxford Bibliographies, entitled “Homelessness in the United States”, providing a general overview of the issue.
