摘要A Dynamic Discrete Choice Model of Reverse Mortgage Borrower Behavior

近日,我院副教授史炜的合作论文“A Dynamic Discrete Choice Model of Reverse Mortgage Borrower Behavior”(合作者:Jason R. Blevins, Donald R. Haurin, Stephanie Moulton) 被国际权威经济学期刊International Economic Review接受发表。

Abstract:

Using unique data on reverse mortgage borrowers in the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program, we semiparametrically estimate a dynamic discrete choice model of borrower behavior. Our estimator is based on a new identification result we develop for models with multiple terminating actions. We show that the per‐period utility functions and discount factor are identified without restrictive, ad hoc identifying restrictions that lead to incorrect counterfactual implications. Our estimates provide insights about factors that influence HECM refinance, default, and termination decisions and allow us to quantify the trade‐offs involved for proposed program modifications, such as income and credit requirements.
