DESCRIPTION

How to save the market without spending the 700 billion dollars using an equity guarantee approach. This presentation describes a way to assure that thousands of abandoned homes and neighborhoods are reclaimed and renewed. Back in 1979 my graduate project partner Lale Guneysu and I were asked to come up with a program response to deal with thousands upon thousands of abandoned homes and damaged neighborhoods. This approach used new computer modeling techniques at the time which are commonm today. Take a look! Tom Curtin

Applying  the Equity Guarantee Model  to Resolve Today’s Crisis

Page 2: Saving The Mortgage Market and Dealing With Abandoned Homes

l d h dIn 1979, LaleGuneysu and Thomas Curtin, graduate students at the University of Rochester’s Public Policy School were asked by the Urban League to Policy School were asked by the Urban League to apply their skills to resolve a housing abandonment crisis in the City of Rochester NY  where some ythousands of homes lay vacant.

This presentation tells how that solution can be applied today to stabilize housing markets  without act all  p rchasing the sec ritiesactually purchasing the securities.

ff fLocation –or the socio‐economic effect of neighborhood sets the value for many homes

‐But whenever that value of something is d b d d b hguaranteed or bonded by the government, it 

tends to float with a market.

The closer you get to the redemption date, h h h h k f hthe higher the market for the item.

h ll h k l kTechnically, the risk was large, say $50k in average  guarantees for 10,000 homes would be $500 MILLION DOLLARS   Technically  the paper money MILLION DOLLARS.  Technically, the paper money in your wallet is worth next to nothing.

Practically speaking, things are worth what the government says they are worth and as long as things are staggered to smooth out market effects it rolls along nicely.
