Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article investigates the effect of siblings that a household head and spouse have on households housing tenure decision. Based on a sample of the China Health and Nutrition survey data that spans from 2000 till 2015, we find that households whose head and spouse have more siblings tend to have a higher probability of owning houses they occupy. This effect remains robust under different model specifications and instrumental variable estimation. In addition, we find that only when siblings have better home ownership status, households may have a higher probability of owning house when siblings incomes increases.
