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.

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.

Boosting the Supply of Rural Rental Housing
Sablik, Timothy (2023-12)
The housing market has emerged as one of the sectors of the economy where post-pandemic price pressures are most visible. The combination of a long-running slump in new construction following the Great Recession and the huge shocks to supply and demand stemming from the COVID-19 lockdowns have contributed to growing housing affordability challenges across the country. In the span of just two years, from June 2020 to June 2022, the S&P/ Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index increased by nearly 40 percent. The cost of the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has also increased at a fast ...

District Digest: The Roles of Single-Family Housing Investors, Big and Small, in the Fifth District
Stoney, Sierra (2024-10)
Single-family housing investors have received more public scrutiny over the past several years as their share of overall home purchases has grown while housing was becoming less affordable due to a national supply crunch. Institutional investors have especially been capturing headlines recently, as homes have become more expensive since 2020 due to increased demand and dwindling supply. But this type of investor has only been active in single-family markets in large numbers over the past 15 years; most single-family investment home purchases are still made by smaller investors. And while ...
