D1b Family Lifecycle Stage and Consumer Debt among Homeowners and Renters

mercredi 17 mai 2023 à 14:00–15:30 PDT
Room 1
Short Description

Considering the constant increase of consumer debt and the changes in the compositions of U.S. households, this study examined the factors related to the likelihood of holding consumer debt and the amount of total debt by focusing on the family lifecycle stages of the households. The study analyzed a combined dataset of the 2016 and 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances separately for homeowners and for renters. Descriptive results presented that both the percentage of households holding debt and the mean amount of debt were higher for homeowners than renters, and the largest lifecycle category was empty nest households (35.1%) for homeowners and mature singles (29.3%) for renters. Logistic regressions with the dependent variable on whether a household has any debt or not were conducted respectively on 7,730 homeowners and 4,295 renters. Then, OLS regressions with the dependent variable of the logarithm of the total amount of debt were conducted respectively on 6,374 homeowners with debt and 2,871 renters with debt. Multivariate results indicated that lifecycle stage, liquidity constraint, prudence, attitude toward credit, expectations for the economy, financial characteristics, and socioeconomic status have both similar and different effects on homeowners’ and renters’ likelihood of holding debt and the amount of debt.
