Map of geographic variation in subsidies and ownership rates in England.
Panel (i): Right to Buy maximum discount caps by local authorities
Panel (ii): Average annual ownership rates by local authorities
Panel (iii): Average General health Questionnaire (GHQ) scores by local authorities
Source: Authors' representation. Data for the two graphs in panel (i) has been obtained from the Department of Communities and Local Government. The two graphs in panel (ii) use BHPS data 1999–2008, to show the local authority average of the ownership variable. As this variable is binary, we multiply by 100 to obtain percentages. The two graphs in panel (iii) use BHPS data 1999–2008, to show the local authority average of the GHQ variable. This variable is increasing in health, with 36 the highest possible response.
