Residential Wealth Distribution in Rio de Janeiro
David M. Vetter, Kaizô I. Beltrão, and Rosa M. R. Massena

Housing is an important component of both a household’s net worth and aggregate national wealth or stock of residential capital. Aggregate residential wealth is the sum of the values of all housing units.

How Do Foreclosures Affect Property Values and Property Taxes?
James Alm, Robert D. Buschman, and David L. Sjoquist
