2 U.S. housing market boom and bust, 1995 to 2012 Correlated booms and busts in house prices, mortgage debt, and consumption. Housing rent-income ratio did not increase during the boom. Start of NBER recession = 2007.Q4.
3 What explains the U.S. housing market boom and bust? Rational explanations of the boom often appeal to exogenous housing demand shocks (increase in housing preference). Problem with this story: An increase in housing preference would increase the housing service flow, as measured by the imputed rent. But this did not happen in the data.

Problem with this story: An increase in housing preference would increase the housing service flow, as measured by the imputed rent. But this did not happen in the data. Empirical evidence: Changes in lending standards contributed to the boom-bust cycle.

Matches data with small housing preference shocks and plausible lending standard shocks.

13 Relaxed lending standards and the run-up in house prices Source: B. Tal (2006), CIBC World Markets, Consumer Watch U.S. (October 18). House prices rose faster where lending standards were weaker.
14 What motivated the change in lending standards? [T]he financial services sector has been dramatically transformed by technology...where once more-marginal applicants would simply have been denied credit, lenders are now able to quite effi ciently judge the risk posed by individual applicants and to price that risk appropriately. These [technology] improvements have led to rapid growth in subprime mortgage lending.

24 Moving-average forecast rules Ease of computation: Agent does not need to know the stochastic processes for shocks. Forecast = exponentially-weighted moving average of past values. Ê t z t+1 = λ z t + (1 λ) Ê t 1 z t, λ [0, 1], ] = Ê t 1 z t + λ [z t Ê t 1 z t, [ ] = λ z t + (1 λ) z t 1 + (1 λ) 2 z t 2... λ = weight on most-recent data in moving average. z t+1 = any stationary object to be forecasted. = p t+1 y t+1 exp (x t+1 ) (example). This setup is consistent with a wide variety of survey evidence.

One-period Long-term Parameter Mortgage Mortgage Target α Approximate 30-year mortgage. κ Approximate 30-year mortgage. β House price/rent 83. θ Housing value/income 6.3. m Mortgage debt/income 2.4. x Quarterly income growth = 0.45%.

RE model requires a more volatile housing preference shock. Volatile housing preference shock implies volatile rent-income ratio.
27 Model simulations: Rational expectations Volatile housing preference shock implies volatile rent-income ratio.
28 Model simulations: Moving-average forecast rules Much less volatile housing preference shock and rent-income ratio.
29 Impulse response: Housing preference shock Moving average (MA) model: Higher volatility and persistence. Long-term mortgage: Peak in debt-income ratio comes later.
30 Impulse response: Lending standard shock Moving average (MA) model: Higher volatility and persistence. Long-term mortgage: Peak in debt-income ratio comes later.
31 What sequence of shocks explains the U.S. data? Use log-linear decision rules from model to reverse-engineer the exogenous shock sequences needed to exactly match the observed patterns in U.S. data from 1995.Q1 to 2012.Q4. x t = U.S. per capita real disposable income growth (smoothed). R t 1 = U.S. quarterly real mortgage interest rate (smoothed). (p t h t /y t ) Take observed time series from U.S. data. (b t /y t ) θ t = θ exp (u t ) m t = m exp (v t ) Given decision rules & data, solve for shocks.

33 Inputs to the reverse-engineering excercise. Shocks identified using smoothed versions of U.S. income growth and mortgage rate
34 Reverse engineering the shocks to match the data RE model: Requires much larger housing preference shock. One-period mortgage: Post-2007 loosening of lending standards.
35 Two indicators of U.S. bank lending standards Source: Federal Reserve Senior Loan Offi cer Opinion Survey (SLOOS). Banks started to tighten standards before the Great Recession.
36 Properties of reverse-engineered shocks Moving-average model: Smaller housing preference shocks. Long-term mortgage: Larger lending standard shocks. RE Model MA Model One-period Long-term One-period Long-term Shock Housing Preference Statistic Mean Std. Dev. Mortgage Mortgage Mortgage Mortgage Lending Standard Mean Std. Dev
37 Model-implied rent-income ratio RE Model: Large preference shocks make rent-income ratio too volatile. Recall: Rent t = θ t c t + µ t m t 1+m t Ê t p t+1
38 Model-implied consumption-income ratio By construction, all models imply similar paths for the consumption-income ratio. c t /y t = 1 + b t+1 /y t (R t 1 + δ t )b t /y t
39 Counterfactual 1: No housing preference shock Moving average model can still generate a significant boom-bust episode.
40 Counterfactual 2: No lending standard shock One-period mortgage model implies a rapid deleveraging when housing value falls.
41 Counterfactual 3: No income growth shock MA model with long-term mortgage debt shows a smaller boom-bust cycle.
42 Counterfactual 4: No mortgage interest rate shock All models continue to exhibit a substantial boom-bust episode.
43 Conclusion RE model: Requires a large housing preference shock to match boom-bust in U.S. housing value. This implies a boom-bust in rent-income ratio, which is counterfactual.
44 Conclusion RE model: Requires a large housing preference shock to match boom-bust in U.S. housing value. This implies a boom-bust in rent-income ratio, which is counterfactual. One-period mortgage debt: Implies rapid deleveraging after 2007 as housing values fell. Hence, the model requires an implausible, post-2007 relaxation of lending standards ( m t ) to explain the slow deleveraging observed in the data.
45 Conclusion RE model: Requires a large housing preference shock to match boom-bust in U.S. housing value. This implies a boom-bust in rent-income ratio, which is counterfactual. One-period mortgage debt: Implies rapid deleveraging after 2007 as housing values fell. Hence, the model requires an implausible, post-2007 relaxation of lending standards ( m t ) to explain the slow deleveraging observed in the data. All models: Mortgage interest rate decline was not an important driver of the U.S. boom-bust episode.
46 Conclusion RE model: Requires a large housing preference shock to match boom-bust in U.S. housing value. This implies a boom-bust in rent-income ratio, which is counterfactual. One-period mortgage debt: Implies rapid deleveraging after 2007 as housing values fell. Hence, the model requires an implausible, post-2007 relaxation of lending standards ( m t ) to explain the slow deleveraging observed in the data. All models: Mortgage interest rate decline was not an important driver of the U.S. boom-bust episode. Credit-fueled bubble: Model with (1) moving-average forecast rules, (2) long-term mortgages, and (3) shifting lending standards does best in plausibly matching the U.S. data.
47 Impulse response: Housing preference shock All model versions hit with the same shock.
48 Impulse response: Lending standard shock All model versions hit with the same shock.
49 Impulse response: Income growth shock All model versions hit with the same shock.
50 Impulse response: Interest rate shock All model versions hit with the same shock.
