Abstract

We study the impact of residential and non-residential investment on economic growth using U.S. data. Unlike previous studies we include the external sector (net exports) in our estimations, and we calculate impulse response analysis using Pesaran and Shin’s (Economics Letters 58:17–29, 1998) generalized impulse response approach. We find that shocks to residential investment have a larger impact on GDP than shocks to non-residential investment, which supports the findings of the closed-economy approach of Coulson and Kim (Real Estate Economics 28:233–247, 2000). However, a closed economy model tends to overstate the importance of residential investment and understate the relevance of nonresidential investment.

The dependence of consumption on past income can be due to permanent income considerations (see e.g., Friedman 1957).

In order to have a negatively sloped IS curve we must further assume that \(a_{0} + p < 1 \).

In tables and Figs. 2 through 4, the letter D is used to denote one period differences. E.g., \(ttagmk "IEq15 DX_{t} = Xt - X_{{t - 1}} \).

In addition to our argument, others have suggested structural breaks due to changes in productivity which roughly corresponding the timing of the breaks suggested below. See, for instance, Ballard and Duffy (2004).

See, Frankel (2006) and Smith et al. (2006). Frankel for example reports that “[s]ince the mid 1990s, the share of MBS in US bond market has surged to nearly one third of the total outstanding and has remained at a high level...The market has also become more global: the stock of foreign investment in US mortgage securities has increased more than fourfold since 1990, to nearly $1 trillion.”
