From a paper by David M. Brickman:
“Over the past four decades, the multifamily housing market has grown and evolved significantly to become a much more prominent part of the US housing landscape. Since 1990, the total value of the multifamily housing stock has grown more than tenfold, from less than $600 million to more than $6
billion today, as both the number and value of multifamily housing units have steadily increased. Although a broad range of macroeconomic and demographic factors have contributed to this growth, the primary catalyst has been the establishment of well-functioning multifamily capital markets, defined by large liquid debt and equity markets and a largely unconstrained private rental market. Against this backdrop, multifamily housing has become a standout among commercial real estate in terms of capital flows and performance while disproportionately contributing to the nation’s supply of newly constructed housing at this moment of intense shortages and affordability challenges.
Given the success of the modern multifamily capital and housing markets, there is value in understanding their development to identify market areas in need of additional investment and to inform regional and global markets elsewhere. To that end, this brief identifies and examines key moments in the evolution of multifamily debt and equity flows from the late 1980s through today and their impact on capitalization rates, property values, housing supply, rental rates, and rent growth. The brief concludes with a discussion of policy implications.”

From a paper by Munseob Lee, Claudia Macaluso, and Felipe Schwartzman:
“Our paper addresses the heterogeneous effects of monetary policy on households of different races. The cyclical volatility of real income differs significantly for households of different races and income levels, reflecting differential exposure to fluctuations in employment and consumer prices. All Black households are disproportionately affected by employment fluctuations, whereas price volatility is only particularly pronounced for Black households with income above the national median. The latter face 40 percent higher price volatility than both poorer households of the same race and white households of similar income. To evaluate the effects of policy, we propose a New Keynesian framework with heterogeneous exposure to employment and price volatility. We find that an accommodative monetary stance generates asymmetric outcomes within race groups. Low-income households experience unemployment stabilization benefits, while high income ones incur real income volatility costs. Differences are especially large among Black households. Reducing the volatility of unemployment by 1 percentage point engenders a 1.17 percentage point reduction in overall income volatility for poorer Black households, but an increase of 0.6 percentage points in income volatility for richer Black households.”

From a paper by Won Joong Kim, Juyoung Ko, Won Soon Kwon, and Chunyan Piao:
“Different crises, such as the GFC, COVID-19 pandemic, and RU-UA war, lead to the common economic consequences: fluctuations in global inflation. In a globalized world, global inflation matters because it also affects the national economy. Although the literature provides determinants of inflation at national and regional levels, no studies have measured global inflation and analyzed its sources of fluctuations during the GFC, COVID-19, and RU-UA war periods. To fill this void, we measure monthly global inflation and estimate its dynamics using a time-varying parameter structural vector autoregression model with stochastic volatility. The results from global data show that global inflation during crisis periods is greatly affected by the monetary and the oil price shocks. Finally, the application to the EMU member countries implies that high EMU inflation rates in recent years were dominantly caused by excessive expansionary monetary policy in the EMU system.”
