Homeownership and Demand for Long-Term Care
Rouwendal, Jan; Thomese, Fleur - 2010
Elderly home-owners get institutionalized less often than renters do. We hypothesize that housing tenure itself explains this behavior. Using longitudinal data from a Dutch community sample (N= 2,372) collected between 1992 and 2005, we find a negative effect of housing tenure on the probability...
