Abstract

Despite a remarkable improvement in the general welfare of the Swedish population since the 1960s, the rate of housing evictions has rapidly increased in the same period This paper presents an analysis of factors associated with the growth in the eviction rate The main hypothesis models eviction rate growth as the unintended effect of Swedish housing policy, otherwise viewed as highly successful We also speculate about the relationship between homelessness and the evictions, suggesting that for Sweden the eviction rate and the prevalence of homelessness are negatively connected, i e. a high eviction rate is associated with a small number of homeless individuals. Data from two time periods, 1915-37 and 1950-81, are analyzed using ARIMA time series The period 1976-80 is, in addition, analyzed with pooled cross-section, time-series analysis.
