Abstract

Since the mid-1980s, important developments have taken place in the housing finance system. In the 1990s, the U.S. economy experienced the longest expansion in its history, marked by substantial growth in household income and wealth. In addition, Congress passed the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, two laws favorable to homeowners. Therefore, it's not surprising that homeownership rates and the mortgage indebtedness of American families have also changed significantly. In \\"Moving Up: Trends in Homeownership and Mortgage Indebtedness,\\" Wenli Li uses the University of Michigan's Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine the effects of these changes and how they vary across households.
