ABSTRACT

In this paper, we empirically examine how household‘s mortgage debt and house price influenced household consumption. To this end, this study used data on homeowner households collected for 4 years by the National Survey of Tax and Benefit (NSTB) and analyzed the effects of an increase in housing prices and mortgage variables on total consumption expenditures. The analysis results show that housing price has a positive effect, whereas leveraging, which continuously leads to incurred household debt, has a negative one. In addition, an increase in the house price of households whose loan to value ratio continue to increase plays a role in partially reducing the wealth effect. Although debt may temporarily increase household consumption, it can not become a tool for economic revitalization. Because the leveraging can cause a debt-repayment burden.
