Abstract: This paper calculates the benefits accruing from rent control on the Danish housing market to the occupants of private rented housing, social housing and co-operative housing. The socio-economic groups which receive the greatest benefits are identified. By controlling for sample selection bias it is shown that the rent control benefit is very poorly targeted among tenants in private rented housing, as high incomes and high levels of education are strongly associated with higher benefits. In social housing the rent control benefit is even more badly targeted than in private rented housing as, in addition, tenants from non-OECD countries, the unskilled, people taking early retirement and the long-term unemployed receive relatively low benefits.
