Housing Tenure, Job Mobility and Unemployment in the UK
研究英国住房产权对个人工作转换和失业持续时间的影响，发现自有住房对在职者构成约束，而公租房对失业者构成更大约束。
This article examines the effects of housing tenure on individuals' job and unemployment durations in the UK. We examine job to job transitions and transitions from unemployment. We take account of whether or not the arrival of a job was synonymous with a non-local residential move, tenure endogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity. We find that home-ownership is a constraint for the employed and public renting is more of a constraint for the unemployed. Employed home-owners have a lower transition into employment with a distant move and unemployed public renters have a lower probability of gaining employment in more distant labour markets.
