Title: Credit Effects of Housing Wealth without Bank Credits: New Micro Evidence from China
Abstract:
This paper studies the housing wealth effect on consumption in China and explores the channel via which this effect works. To this end, it feeds a cross-section of individual house prices and expenditure to a representative agent framework and examines the heterogeneity in the MPC out of housing wealth across households grouped by degrees of credit constraint. It shows that the credit channel is enabled by non-bank private credits, instead of bank credits, as often found in other countries.
