Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Housing Bubbles
Sergi Basco · 2019
72/100
👍 Worth It
A solid academic monograph that delivers rigorous econometric analysis of housing market dynamics through dual behavioral and rational frameworks, grounded in concrete US and Spain case studies. It earns its place on a specialist's shelf but the Palgrave Pivot format keeps it thinner than the topic deserves, and coverage skews heavily Western. If you're an economist, policy researcher, or advanced undergrad in macroeconomics, this delivers what it promises.
