Abstract
This paper examines the link between the value of residential real estate stock and private consumption using data from Estonia. Estonia has a high share of owner-occupancy due to the property reform that was begun after regaining independence in 1991, and has also seen large changes in real estate prices. A vector error correction model was constructed with private consumption, real estate stock value, GDP and household debt as the variables. The results suggest the presence of a long-run relationship, showing that changes in the value of residential real estate stock positively affect private consumption in the long run, i.e. the effect is permanent and has the expected positive sign.
