15 Debt burden High levels of debt participation and outstanding amounts of Irish households relative to the Euro Area. Examine debt service across the age distribution. Does debt taken out by different groups varies by their income and asset positions? Allows us to gauge the debt burden. Unless otherwise stated, charts relating to debt or debt-service are conditional on having some form of debt. Some metrics use net income this is not a HFCS variable: our estimate compares favourably with Revenue distributions. R. Lydon NERI, April 2015 HFCS survey 15 / 36

36 Conclusions what s next? New data set, still a lot to understand e.g. financial assets? Several ongoing research projects involving the use of micro-simulation to better understand macro outcomes such as household spending, amongst other things. Much work to be done in order to build a robust (& credible) simulated dataset. Comments & suggestions are very welcome at this stage Thank you R. Lydon NERI, April 2015 HFCS survey 36 / 36
