The housing affordability literature has had much to say on the underlying trends and influences on housing affordability over time. However today there remain only a few studies that examine the influence of land-use regulation on housing affordability. Even more uncommon is a focus on the distributional impact of such regulation on housing affordability by race and income, and across space within metropolitan areas. Moreover, the models commonly used in the literature often omit important covariates and are at great risk of significant left-out variable bias. Utilizing a cross-sectional regression design analyzing existing Wharton Residential Land Use Regulation Survey data, land use regulation survey data developed by Pendall, Puentes, and Martin (2006), and 1980-2014 Decennial Census and American Community Survey data, this dissertation charts recent housing affordability trends and illuminates the impact of various kinds of exclusionary land use regulation on housing affordability by housing tenure, race, and income.
