Simon C. Büchler is an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Farmer School of Business, Miami University. His research interests encompass finance, public economics, urban economics, and real estate economics. He has published several papers examining the impact of spatial planning restrictions and land-use regulations on housing costs, with a focus on data from Switzerland. His work investigates the interaction between housing supply regulations and market dynamics, demonstrating how strict planning can amplify housing cost growth. He has signaled that such findings have significant implications in contexts beyond Switzerland, due to similarities in local control and market demands. Büchler's contributions also include exploring the effects of relaxing land-use regulations on urban housing supply and affordability, employing advanced econometric models to provide actionable insights into urban planning and policy development. His collaborative research has been published in noted journals including Journal of Housing Economics and Journal Urban Economics, contributing to the understanding of the relationship between human capital and housing markets. He actively engages with both academic and public policy audiences, providing analyses aimed at improving urban housing strategies.
