Sommario/riassunto

Laboratory Experiments in the Social Sciences is the only book providing core information for researchers about the ways and means to conduct experiments. Its comprehensive regard for laboratory experiments encompasses "how-to? explanations, investigations of philosophies and ethics, explorations of experiments in specific social science disciplines, and summaries of both the history and future of social science laboratories.  No other book offers such a direct avenue to enlarging our knowledge in the social sciences.This collection of original chapters combines instructions and

Sommario/riassunto

Het disfunctioneren van de Nederlandse woningmarkt trekt terecht de aandacht. De koopsector is uit balans door de fiscale bevoordeling, door de geringe prijselasticiteit van het aanbod en door de ruimhartige hypotheekverstrekking. De huursector functioneert in sterke mate marktcontrair en wordt gekenmerkt door een grote mate van regulering. In deze rede wordt aandacht besteed aan de invloed van de koopsector op de huursector. Het hoge prijsniveau in de koopsector dat mede het gevolg is van de fiscale bevoordeling, heeft een verstorende werking op de huursector. De huursector wordt geconfrontee
