Newly published #openaccess 'The impact of housing shortages on firm entry in rural economies' by Simone Juhasz Silva doi.org/10.1080/2168... This paper employs US county-level data to examine the dynamic relationships among firm entry, housing supply and labour force growth.
Cover of the RSRS journal along with the title, author and abstract: Although most research on housing shortages has concentrated on metropolitan regions, emerging evidence suggests that limited housing availability may also constrain economic growth in rural areas by impeding firm entry. This issue is particularly relevant in the United States, as business recruitment remains a central development strategy for rural communities experiencing population decline. This paper employs US county-level data to examine the dynamic relationships among firm entry, housing supply and labour force growth using a fixed-effects panel vector autoregressive (VAR) framework. An additional contribution is that the spatial characteristics of the data are exploited as an extra source of exogenous variation. Findings indicate that housing additions influence, in the Granger-causality sense, firm entry across all regions, with the magnitude of this effect increasing as the share of the population residing in rural areas rises. These results underscore the role of housing availability as a critical factor shaping new firm formation, particularly in rural economies.
