Liquidity Constraints: A Cross-Section Analysis of the Housing Purchase Behavior of Japanese Households
利用日本统计局家庭收支调查数据，分析租房且户主45岁以下工薪家庭的购房行为，发现流动性约束是决定购房行为的最重要因素。
This paper focuses on the existence of liquidity constraints on housing purchases by Japanese households. In order to assess the impact of liquidity constraints, the author analyzes the housing purchase behavior of worker households which rent and in which the household head was under the age of forty-five from the National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure compiled by the Statistics Bureau. Liquidity constraints emerge as the most important factor in determining housing purchase behavior. Copyright 1993 by MIT Press.
