Foreclosures, House Prices, and the Real EconomyAtif R. MianPrinceton University - Department of Economics; Princeton University - Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs; NBER Amir SufiUniversity of Chicago - Booth School of Business; NBER Francesco TrebbiUniversity of British Columbia - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) May 25, 2012 Chicago Booth Research Paper No. 13-41 Fama-Miller Working Paper Abstract: States without a judicial requirement for foreclosures are twice as likely to foreclose on delinquent homeowners. Comparing zip codes close to state borders with differing foreclosure laws, we show that foreclosure propensity and housing inventory jump discretely as one enters non-judicial states. There is no jump in other homeowner attributes such as credit scores, income, or education levels. The increase in foreclosure rates in non-judicial states persists for at least five years. Using the judicial / non-judicial law as an instrument for foreclosures, we show that foreclosures lead to a large decline in house prices, residential investment, and consumer demand.
