Primes¶
- Intervention-Coupled Harm
- The pattern recurs in regulatory design (disclosure rules reduce information asymmetry by the same mechanism that enables strategic disclosure-timing and complexity-driven obfuscation), in economic policy (rent control reduces prices for current tenants by reducing the return on housing investment, the very mechanism that reduces new supply; minimum wages raise wages for retained workers via the same price-floor that prices out marginal hires),
This sourceShows rent control lowers rents for sitting tenants through the same reduced-return mechanism that reduces rental-housing supply.

- Side Effect
- Economic policy: a regulation aimed at one market affects others (rent control affecting supply, mobility, urban form); the externality is the side-effect pattern with a price-system framing.
This sourceEmpirical demonstration that rent control aimed at protecting tenants produced off-target effects on housing supply and mobility.
