YoHo — Young Homeownership
A Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action project on financial barriers to homeownership among young households.
About the project
YoHo (Young Homeownership) is funded by a two-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action grant I obtained from the European Union in 2023. The project examines the financial barriers that prevent young households from becoming homeowners, and studies how mortgage-market design, macroprudential policy, and housing supply interact with household credit constraints over the life cycle.
The project is hosted at the Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE in Frankfurt, with data and collaborations extending across the Nordic countries and the EU.
