This article discusses the macro foundations of the supply curve for housing. The crucial points examined in the paper are the responsiveness of the supply curve to price, the independence of the supply curve from the demand curve for housing, and the stability of the supply curve. After the author discusses the theoretical foundations of the housing market, a small empirical model is constructed and estimated. Special attention is given to the identification problem connected with the estimation of the supply curve. The results are then examined and the within sample tracking ability of the model is discussed.
