Özet (Çeviri)
This dissertation consists of three essays that examine the e ects of housing investment on households life-cycle portfolio allocation decisions. The main objective of these essays is to examine the role of housing investment in addressing the gap between the empirical evidence and the standard theoretical model predictions on both households stock market participation rate and their share of nancial wealth invested in the stock market. The empirical evidence from both the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) show that households have a low stock market participation rate as well as a moderate levels of equity holdings. On the other hand, theoretical models with the assumption of the historically prevailing equity premium suggest that almost all households should participate in the stock market and invest most of their nancial wealth in this market. The rst essay introduces a basic housing investment structure into a standard life-cycle portfolio allocation model to investigate possible e ects of housing investment on households life- cycle portfolio allocation decisions. The results of this rst essay show that housing investment has a sizable crowding out e ect on households' risky asset investment. Since housing investment is both a durable consumption good from which households derive utility and an investment asset from which households get returns, housing investment becomes a partial substitute for risky asset investment. The second essay introduces a comprehensive housing investment into a life-cycle model in order to have a more realistic model. Among the features of this model are an endogenous decision to be either homeowner or renter in each period, a liquidation cost of selling a house, mortgage payments in each period, and Epstein-Zin recursive preferences. The results of this comprehensive model also show the strong crowding out e ect of housing investment on house- holds risky asset investment. This e ect is larger for young and middle-aged households. Early in life, households are willing to be homeowners by paying a downpayment and annual mortgage payments. This keeps their liquid wealth at low levels so that they refrain from paying the entry cost to invest in risky assets. Hence, the owner occupied housing is a substitute for investment in risky assets. Furthermore, due to the return on housing investment and the positive correlation with return on risky asset, households prefer to invest some of their wealth in housing instead of risky assets. In the rst two essays, households can invest in only one risky and one riskless asset. How- ever, a better approach is to distinguish between taxable accounts (TAs) and tax-deferred accounts (TDAs) in life-cycle portfolio allocation analysis. The third essay extends the model introduced in the second essay by distinguishing between TAs and TDAs. In this model, house- holds make constant mandatory contributions to TDAs while the investment in TAs is volun- tarily. This model takes into account the tax advantages of both TDAs and mortgage interest payments. The results of this essay show that both housing investment and TDAs have a crowd- ing out e ects on TAs risky asset investment as well as the participation rate to this account. The negative e ect of housing investment is, however, stronger than the negative e ect of TDAs.
