Project: System of indicators for the analysis of metropolitan and urban dynamics in Spain at the beginning of XXI Century. Ministry of Science and Technology (CSO2010-16298)The context in SpainReal estate market =one of the principal vehicles of capital accumulation of neoliberal town planning.1997-2006 : 5.5 millions of houses.Annual ratio during ten years of 13.3 houses for every 1,000 inhabitants.Autonomous Regions: Laws by the System of Land and Urban Arrangement, & Territorial Plans.Plans are uselessThe most important: benefits generated by construction activity.

Method & Sources

Prices: values of use and change

Quantities: three series of flow informationHousing censusesWork project starts-Home visas.Work licensesHousing transactions

Main urban citiesSmall citiesMain High Capacity RoadsThere are delays that determine the supply and demand analysis

T: number of transactionsL: housings as a consequence of work licenses grantedV: Home VisasK: the delays (that can acquire the value 0 if both series are simultaneous, 1 if the explanatory variable precedes by one year the explained one and 2 if the delay is two years)in a municipality i and in one year tRelation Licenses-Transactions. R2 (2004-2010):0.379-0.741 when K=00.309-0.823 when K=10.525-0.915 when K=2Relation Licenses-Work project Starts. R2 (2002-2010):0.631-0.870 when K=00.435-0.852 when K=10.201-0.742 when K=2

The dynamism of the urban areas in the Atlantic AxisEvolution of housing starts, work licenses and housing transactions

Efficiency of the housing market

T: housing transactions during the current yearL: the work licenses conceded two years ago.

The results are always higher than 0, reaching a situation of equilibrium when the efficiency rate is equal to 1
