Peter A. Kemp is the Barnett Professor of Social Policy at the University of Oxford.

"Although there is a growing literature examining housing allowances in individual countries, this is one of very few comparative studies. This book facilitates important understanding of the developments and features of housing allowances in different contexts, while Professor Kemp's own introductory and concluding chapters usefully organise this understanding and identify policy lessons." John Doling, University of Birmingham
