Abstract

This paper analyzes how changes in household debt policies and housing finance environment affect household borrowing decisions, housing prices, and welfare. I examine three types of housing finance environmental changes. First, when the government relaxes the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio regulation, housing price, rent price, and household debt increase simultaneously. An increase in the residence cost leads to a decrease in the economy-wide welfare. However, the proportion of households that support the relaxed LTV regulation is higher than non-supporters. Second, when the mortgage refinance is restricted, housing price, rent price, and household debt decrease. Though a decrease in residential expenses increases household welfare, the proportion of households that support such a change is less than the half of the entire population. Third, when the average household income decreases, housing demand, price, and rent price decrease. Since a decrease in household income reduces life time consumption, the economy-wide welfare decreases.
