Abstract

Based on the Korean Housing Survey 2020, the paper examines the characteristics of households with or without home-ownership in terms of wealth and income effects. In particular, it develops the multivariate logistic regression model by two stages to resolve the multicollinearity problems between income and wealth. the paper demonstrates that the income effect has a negative (-) value which is statistically relevant with no regard to space area of exclusive use on the condition that overlapping wealth with income is not limited for the chance of home-ownership. Furthermore, the likelihood of home-ownership for under (over) the applicable space area of exclusive use became lower (higher) as the standard of the dwelling area expanded from 40m<sup>2</sup> to 60m<sup>2</sup> and 84m<sup>2</sup>. The results showed that compared with two households with all conditions including assets but incomes a household with higher incomes is likely to have the ownership of a larger house. It means that a household with higher incomes prefers a large and comfortable residence to residential stability.
