This paper investigates how things have changed since the global financial crisis for those stepping onto the property ladder in Australia.

Australia was among a small handful of the world's advanced economies to avoid recession during the global financial crisis. Wayne Swan, the treasurer during the crisis, claims the mining boom played no role staving off recession.

Polling conducted by The Australia Institute asked Australians about the federal government’s handling of the global financial crisis (GFC).

This research investigated the relationship between increasing housing prices (or housing wealth) and the increased consumption expenditure of households from before the GFC and afterwards.

This study compares the effect of the introduction and removal of the Australian Government Wholesale Funding Guarantee Scheme (WGS) on the funding costs and risk taking incentives of authorised deposit-taking institutions (ADIs).
