Milestones in European Housing Finance

From the Foreword by David Miles, Professor of Financial Economics, Imperial College, London 'The great strength of this book is that detailed and up to date information on housing finance systems is presented in a way which allows for informed comparisons between countries... The result is that we have here a rich stock of information on the same fundamental set of characteristics of housing finance markets.... Jens Lunde and Christine Whitehead have done a fine job in editing and assembling this volume. They also provide three overview chapters which draw out some of the lessons from the experience of this large group of countries... A book like this which tracks the evolution of housing finance across countries and takes a detailed look at where we are now is immensely valuable.'
