Abstract: Abstract What factors account for differences among countries in the share of resources invested in residential construction? One important factor is likely to be the stage of development, an index of a nation’s ability to mobilize resources for new housing. If so, is the size of the share systematically related to development stage? There has been some theorizing about such a relationship and its nature, supported by a modicum of statistical verification. And how important are demographic variables such as urbanization?
