Working Paper
Housing and debt over the life cycle and over the business cycle
Pavan, Marina; Iacoviello, Matteo (2009)
This paper describes an equilibrium life-cycle model of housing where nonconvex adjustment costs lead households to adjust their housing choice infrequently and by large amounts when they do so. In the cross-sectional dimension, the model matches the wealth distribution; the age profiles of consumption, homeownership, and mortgage debt; and data on the frequency of housing adjustment. In the time-series dimension, the model accounts for the procyclicality and volatility of housing investment, and for the procyclical behavior of household debt.

Housing Markets in a Time of Crisis: A Historical Perspective
Fishback, Price; Snowden, Kenneth A.; Rose, Jonathan D. (2020)
As the coronavirus (Covid-19) public health crisis unfolds, a second crisis in the economy is developing as well. One economic concern, among many, is the debt burden of households. Early reports point to a surge in unemployment claims during March 2020, raising the prospect that widespread unemployment is likely to impair the ability of households to make payments on their home mortgages and other loans in the months ahead. This represents a potential crisis in mortgage markets, as borrowers who are temporarily unemployed—but for an unknown period—may face default on their mortgages.

Do People View Housing as a Good Investment and Why?
Haughwout, Andrew F.; Liu, Haoyang; Parker, Dean; Zhang, Xiaohan (2021-04-05)
Housing represents the largest asset owned by most households and is a major means of wealth accumulation, particularly for the middle class. Yet there is limited understanding of how households view housing as an investment relative to financial assets, in part because of their differences beyond the usual risk and return trade-off. Housing offers households an accessible source of leverage and a commitment device for saving through an amortization schedule. For an owner-occupied residence, it also provides stability and hedges for rising housing costs. On the other hand, housing is much ...

Survey of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Properties
Community Development, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas (2001)
In 1987, states began offering federally authorized tax credits to investors to encourage the development of low-income rental housing—with the stipulation that the rents remain "affordable" for at least 15 years. Now—as that 15-year mark looms—a Dallas Fed survey of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties located in Texas has found that 76 percent of the property owners plan to keep their housing affordable for low-income families, but many are in need of repair.

Taxes, homeownership, and the allocation of residential real estate risks
Chatterjee, Satyajit (1996-09)
Home equity is the predominant form of savings for most Americans because it helps them save on taxes. However, homeownership also determines how the risks of fluctuations in the value of residential real estate are borne. In this article, Satyajit Chatterjee looks at how the tax benefit of homeownership has moved households toward undiversified investments in risky residential real estate by making it costly for them to rent their homes. He also points out the often overlooked risk-allocation consequences of proposed changes in the U.S. tax code.
