Home Values and Auto Purchases

演讲内容简介:

Along with the significant decline in U.S. home values during the last recession, new vehicle sales fell nearly 40 percent. This paper examines the connection between home values and vehicle sales first using a county-level panel from the episode and finds: (1) A one-dollar fall in home values reduced new vehicle spending by about 0.9 cents; and (2) Falling home values explain approximately 19 percent of the aggregate vehicle spending decline. Next, examining state-level data from 1997-2016, we find: (3) The short-run responses of vehicle consumption to home value changes are larger in the 2005-2011 period relative to other years, but at longer horizons (e.g. 5 years), the responses are similar across the two sub-periods; and (4) The service flow from vehicles, as measured from miles traveled, responds very little to house price shocks. We also detail the sources of the differences between our findings (1) and (2) from existing research.
