Raymond J. Struyk's Books

The countries of Eastern Europe have been on the long road to the market for more than a decade. And while the macroeconomic record has been well documented, there has been little analysis of individual country and cross-sector progress. This book offers detailed comparative analysis of the housing sector in seven countries as a window to understanding the developments beyond the headlines. The authors document housing progress towards reliance on markets, how easy it is for families to buy housing, and how the housing sector has contributed to macroeconomic stabilization in Hungary, Slovenia, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Poland, Russia, Armenia, and Estonia.

This vital book reports the significant findings of a research project designed to fill the void in the existing knowledge about the incidence of housing adjustments among the elderly and the factors causing them. With great foresight, the authors examine the adjustments the elderly must make in order to remain in the community instead of relocating. The economic, health, demographic, and social support factors that determine the need for housing adjustments are explored, and statistical modeling of the determinants of each of the housing adjustments studied is also included.

Assesses the Reagan administration's housing record, plans, and goals.

Struyk, an analyst of housing policy and finance and community development with the Urban Institute was inspired for this account by Russian and Hungarian think tanks he worked with in 1990 and 1991, as well as efforts to create or restructure such bodies in the west. He draws on interviews with people from think tanks and policy makers in Armenia, Bulgaria, Hungary, and the Russian Federation, and with representatives of the donor community both in those countries and elsewhere.
