ABSTRACT

This paper sheds light on the distinct characteristics of freehold and leasehold households in terms of wealth and income. In particular, we exploit the two-stage logit regression analysis to identify the marginal effects of wealth and income separately. Our estimation results reveal that i) the marginal effect of wealth after controlling the wealth effect explained by the income effect significantly improves the freehold probability. However, ii) the marginal effect of income after controlling the income effect explained by the wealth effect significantly lowers the leasehold probability. In other words, the household with additional income that is not explained by its own wealth is less likely to have freehold ownership. The results imply that homeownership relies on wealth disparity rather than income disparity.
