There is no evidence of an overall effect on #MentalHealth of #Marijuana legalisation in US states. However, effects differ across age groups and by pre-existing health conditions @bodanieli @dundeeuni, O Lenhart, J Norris, @agnese_romiti @Strath_Econ ow.ly/2Tl750MoTV0

For this reason, rent controls should be accompanied by policies that mitigate effects on landlords, so that they continue to invest in rental housing (instead of selling/converting properties). Building new homes also helps, but not in the case of a short-term freeze. 6/7

Overall, this is a complex issue. Attempts to ease the burden of high rents/bills on households are crucial to tackle the CoL crisis. But so are mitigation measures targeting the supply side (in this case, landlords). Otherwise, rent controls can do more harm than good. 7/7
New paper🚨 My research on the labour market effects of housing subsidy cuts is now published in the Journal of Housing Economics. Link to the article (open access) here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

It is tempting to think rent controls make housing more affordable. It does, but for fewer people, and with lower quality dwellings, and many more undesired side-effects, unless they’re accompanied by other measures, writes @bodanieli: buff.ly/3mWCzrR via @EconObservatory
