Housing & Household Finance Fund

The Housing & Household Finance Fund, coordinated by Prof. Dr Dirk Brounen, focuses on addressing housing market challenges from multiple perspectives: those of households, the property market, the financial sector, and government.

Housing market challenges from multiple perspectives

The Housing & Household Finance Fund is affiliated with the Chair in Housing & Household Finance held by Prof. Dr Dirk Brounen. This fund supports research that proactively responds to societal developments affecting the housing market and households, such as climate risks, pension reforms, housing affordability, and household finance. Working together with partners from practice, the researchers map out the necessary adjustments and the financial implications of these developments, enabling successful transitions in these areas. The aim is to understand how a better balance between the property market, the financial sector, and government can contribute to a sustainable outlook for households and for society as a whole.

Maastricht Center for Real Estate

Within the Finance department of the School of Business and Economics (SBE), Maastricht University has established the Maastricht Center for Real Estate (MCRE) for this purpose. At this centre, professors with different financial areas of expertise collaborate to understand the most significant societal transitions and their financial impact.

Allocation Committee

The Allocation Committee consists of:

  • Mr Prof. Dr P. Eichholtz (UM);
  • Ms Prof. Dr R. Pownall (UM);
  • Mr M. Eskinasi (external).
