    We investigate the mechanisms by which public policy affects the price of new housing in Medellin, Colombia. Using a vector autoregressive structural model we show that shocks to the real cost of credit (UVR) have a highly elastic, short-run negative effect on therealpriceofhousingpersquaremeter. Further,usingasystemofequationsestimated using seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) and three-stage OLS regression, we show that a reduction in the mortgage rate [via subsidies through the Reserve Fund for Stabilization of the Mortgage Portfolio (FRECH)] has a positive impact on the demand for housing, which generates upward pressure on the price of new housing. Through these mechanisms public policy plays a fundamental role in the dynamics of the construction sector.
