这项研究考虑到了住房所有权和生育这两个生活事件之间潜在的同时性，为早期关于住房所有权和生育的研究做出了贡献。由三个不同的瑞典出生群体组成的数据集表明，这些事件确实是同时发生的。不同的测试表明，考虑到这种同时性可以使模型拟合得到总体统计上显着的改进。然而，对于那些在房地产市场面临日益严重问题的年轻人来说，这一结果最为明显。这些群体的生育决定似乎对用户成本的变化也更加敏感。
This study contributes to earlier research on homeownership and childbearing by taking into account the potential simultaneity between these two life events. A dataset comprising three different Swedish birth cohorts suggests that these are events that are indeed simultaneous. Different tests indicate that taking this simultaneity into account gives an overall statistically significant improvement of the model fit. However, this result is most obvious for those young adults who faced increasing problems on the housing market. The childbearing decision of these cohorts also seems to be more sensitive to changes in the user cost.
