Authors: Discussant: None Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68qAk6We-w8&t=0s ## Talk (00:00:00 – 00:03:41) [00:00:00] so following the Great Recession we have seen in the UK arms market the number of sales falling dramatically and this number of sales as stayed low for quite a few years and therefore in this [00:00:12] research we're trying to explain why this is the case and we analyze in particular a few possible explanations one of which being history what we call history dependence so history dependence [00:00:26] is the tendency of homeowners to put the house on the market less frequently for sale if the house was bought at a high price and if they put it for sale they try to they ask for a higher price than [00:00:41] the average seller in that particular local market this is controlled for for the characteristics of the house and we can even follow the same house if the house was so different times if the [00:00:55] house was so seven times we can see that when it was sold after decrease in house prices then the prices is different with respect to the average that the same house being sold after period of [00:01:09] increasing prices so it's not it's unrelated to quality of the house per se it's we are making a point about the behavior of homeowners so what we do in the data is to go in each and every [00:01:22] local authority in England in ways and compare houses of the same type in the same local areas compare them and one against the other and and check when they were first purchased so if two [00:01:35] houses that I have similar quality then are advertised and sold for different prices and the only reason that we see in the data for this discrepancy is the fact that one of these two properties were was bought when house prices were high and [00:01:50] the other was bought when house prices were low then we conclude that and his history dependence is causing sellers to behave in different ways so there could be two explanations for four history dependence the first is anchoring so [00:02:04] people attributed a great importance to the price that they purchased the house for and disregarding to some extent the evolution of house prices in the local area since they first bought the [00:02:17] property where's the other explanation is related to the mortgage market and is related to the need of a deposit to move to the next property so people who bought with a high loan-to-value ratio [00:02:30] are more likely to wait until they gain a sufficient to give them the deposit to move on to separate the two explanations behind history dependence we rerun the analysis on two subgroups of owners one [00:02:44] is the subgroup of people that bought the house with the mortgage and the other is the group of people who bought the house with cash now if the mortgage based explanation the one that relies on deposit is the one work we should see no [00:02:57] effect in in the cash a group however we see the same history dependence and with approximately the same intensity in both groups which leads us to think that the behavioral explanation is the one really [00:03:11] at work in the UK housing market so we find that about 10 percent of the decline in housing market sales after Great Recession in the UK can be explained with history dependence and therefore going forward we should expect [00:03:25] this force to be at work and future house price cycles to come together with big changes in the number of housing sales in the housing market you
