The effect of home-ownership on labor mobility in the Netherlands
Article Abstract:
A panel of individual labor and housing market histories are used to estimate a nonparametric model of both job durations and home-ownership. The findings reveal that homeowners do not change fewer jobs than tenants but are less vulnerable to unemployment as job commitment drives the housing decision, and not the reverse.
