Book excerpt: This dissertation studies inefficiencies and riskiness in the US housing market. In Chapter I, coauthored with Anthony Lee Zhang, we study liquidity in residential real estate markets and show that market illiquidity is a key determinant of individual house price risk. In Chapter II, coauthored with Zi Yang Kang, we study how the quality of houses traded in a market evolves in the presence of predictable cyclical changes in market conditions. Chapter III studies how industrial concentration creates risk concentration through amplified pass-through of industry-specific productivity shocks into local house prices, wages, and employment.
