| Abstract: | This paper analyzes whether housing tenure affect individuals' job and unemployment durations in the UK. The authors investigate both job to job transitions and transitions from unemployment and consider also whether the arrival of a job was synonymous with a non-local residential move, tenure endogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity. The results show that home-ownership is a constraint for the employed whereas public renting is more likely a constraint for the unemployed. |
