The Effect of Housing Assets on Private Consumption Expenditures in Iran

The purpose of this study is to measure and analyze the effect of housing assets on private sector consumption using time series data in Iran for 1991-2021. This study analyzes the relationship in the form of a autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) econometric model using Eviews software. The final trend for short- and long-term consumption of permanent income, housing and financial assets is also obtained. It is 0.55 and 0.69 for permanent income and 0.56 and 0.70 for housing, respectively. The error correction model shows the adjustment of short-term disequilibrium with a coefficient of 0.48, which is a reasonable relative adjustment rate. Another result of this study is the positive insignificant effect of financial assets on private consumption in Iran
