| Research Abstract |
Although mortgage rates are historically low and those spreads among instruments are small in Japan, share of Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) is sharply increasing after the financial crisis. From an economic policy perspective it is important to know whether a risky (easily defaulted) borrower selects ARM. Previous studies focused on mortgage rates and their spread,which cannot explain mortgage choice of Japanese borrowers.Besides these we introduce income and unemployment risks into mortgage choice model. The estimated result suggests that risky borrowers are inclined to select ARM.
After the bubble burst housing prices declined due to a prolonged doldrums,which implies housing assets become risky ones.The housing asset effect on consumption is estimated using panel data.The results exhibit that housing asset has almost the same effect as financial one. Housing asset has an asymmetric effect of rise and fall in prices, where the former is smaller than the latter.
