The mentioned analysis is compared to a baseline version, following the literature on the subject. The result of this study indicates that the inclusion of the rental market might be an important addition to models of similar kind, even though the differences are small in comparison to the baseline version. In the discussion, the results are linked to a financial accelerator, the so called “collateral channel” as well as wealth effects on the consumption in response to a rise in housing prices. (Less)
