Project description
This research project contributes to the literature on housing affordability in several ways. First, it examines the relationship between the ability to manage housing costs and the sensitivity of household consumption to macroeconomic shocks, providing insights into the connection between affordability and macroeconomic stability. Additionally, it analyzes potential side effects of macroprudential policy tools by evaluating their impact on housing affordability and household financial stability, with a particular focus on possible interactions with fiscal policy.
