Today I had another opportunity to present my Master's thesis at the @arbeiterkammer.bsky.social in Lower Austria and received some enlightening comments! Thank you very much for the invitation!

Results are pinned in my profile.

Finally, I would like to use my main contributions to supplement the existing literature and draw important conclusions. 🧵15/.

After 2008: Dummy:transfer after 2008=1.
Transfer before the transaction: if yes=1. With an odds ratio of 0.6, a market transaction after 08 is 40% less likely than before. However, the receipt of intergen. transfers before the transaction increases the probability by 100% (2.0).🧵13/

I analyse the probability of buying/building HMR, but taking into account the time component and whether these households received other intergenerational transfers besides HMR before the year of the transaction. Dependent variable: Receiving market transaction= 1, if not=0. 🧵12/.

The property valuation at the time of the transaction per square metre (Medin, CPI-adjusted) falls sharply in the short term after the GFC. However, it rises dramatically after 2011.

If one compares the median net wealth (HMR assets excl.) of HH with market trans with HH receiving HMR by transfers (left figure) or with HH that have no HMR property one can clearly see the difference in wealth levels.

Looking at the descriptions of the two different household types, the participation rate in a market transaction in the HFCS falls from 19.8 % before 2009 to 4.6 % after 2008. Pre-transaction transfer: all intergenerational transfers except HMR before the transaction.

I wanted to understand how households that had a market transaction differ from those that received HMR through an intergenerational transfer.

It is clear from the figure that the absolute number of market transactions fell sharply after 2008.

- I analyse households that buy/build their property (market transaction) or inherit/receive the household's main residence as a gift (HMR).
- In addition, I have added a time component to analyse the transactions before and after the Global Financial Crisis.

My motivation was a very prominent tweet from the Austrian conservative party. So I asked myself: who are these households that are homeowners, and how likely are they to become homeowners?

But not just homeowners, but above all buyers or builders of property.
