Abstract
The study applies an endogenous switching probit model, using the data from the China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) to explore the joint decision mechanism between housing purchase and entrepreneurship and estimate the (treatment) effect of housing-purchase on entrepreneurship. The findings are threefold. First, a higher housing price reduces the probability of house-purchase intention, and also that of actual house-purchase-action. Second, both house-purchase-intention and -action discourage actual entrepreneurship investment. Third, house-purchase-intention has a negative effect on potential entrepreneurship plans, while house-purchase-action encourages households to plan for a business in the future.
