Abstract

The objective of this study is to provide more empirical evidence on the possible existence in Spain of causal rela-tionships between housing tenure choice (ownership/rental) and the employment status of household head (em-ployed/unemployed), separating this effect from the one generated by other covariates and unobservables which might affect, as well as from the reverse causal effect that might exist. With this aim, based on micro data from the Survey of Living Conditions for 2010 and the approach of the literature of treatment effects, we estimate switching probit models that relate these variables at the microeconomic level. The results obtained allow us to assert that owning the main residence, whether it is mortgaged or not, increases the probability of employment around 10%.
