我为瑞典的同居夫妇建立了受住房政策影响的住房市场各方面与夫妻稳定性之间的关系模型。利用1992年瑞典家庭调查（Swedish Family Survey）中3851对同居夫妇的数据，我检验了住房市场特征对夫妻结局的影响。我关注三个住房变量，包括住房的可负担性、独立住房的可用性和所有权的盈利能力。我将这些变量与瑞典从同居到结婚或分居的转变联系起来。住房市场的政策相关方面已被证明对瑞典夫妇的稳定有重大影响。更大的负担能力增加了夫妻的稳定性。有趣的是，独立住宅的可用性大大削弱了夫妻的稳定性。
I model the relationship between aspects of the housing market influenced by housing policy and couple stability for cohabiting couples in Sweden. Using data on 3,851 cohabiting couples obtained from the Swedish Family Survey of 1992, I examine the effects of housing market characteristics on couple outcomes. I focus on three housing variables, including the affordability of housing, the availability of detached housing, and the profitability of ownership. I link these variables to the transitions from cohabitation to marriage or separation in Sweden. Policy relevant aspects of the housing market are shown to have significant effects on the stability of couples in Sweden. Greater affordability increases couple stability. Intriguingly, greater availability of detached housing significantly weakens couple stability.
