Abstract

A large degree of volatility in housing markets and in mortgage markets may have disruptive effects on the economy. Large negative shocks on these markets may, for instance, adversely affect the economy and pri-vate consumption in particular via the wealth effect and via less mortgage equity withdrawal, but negative effects on housing investment may also arise.2 Disruptions in the housing sector can be quite severe as a result of the lagged responses in the supply of houses and because of households’ adaptive formation of expectations, extrapolating recent house price increases (and related capital gains) to the future. Large adverse shocks can also impair financial stability.3
