Final Report Abstract

During our DFG project, we have written 8 research papers that are related to the core aspect of the project: How does uncertainty shock play a role in explaining aggregate as well as housing fluctuations? To address our core question, we have used various parameters that could reflect various artificial as well as real economies around the world. Four of the papers are concerned with the role of uncertainty shocks on aggregate fluctuations, and the other four papers address the role of uncertainty shocks on both aggregate and housing markets. Our key parameters in determining and comparing various economies in Housing General Equalibrium models are the Loan to Value ratio (LTV) and borrowing interest rates.
