Birey düzeyindeki verileri kullanarak, bu makale Türkiye'de ev sahibi olma ve işsizlik arasındaki bağlantıyı incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Oswald hipotezi, yüksek ev sahipliğinin, iş arayanların coğrafi hareketliliğini kısıtlayarak işgücü piyasası sonuçlarına zararlı olduğunu belirtir. Bununla birlikte, mikro bulgular, ev sahiplerinin nispeten olumlu işgücü piyasası sonuçlarına sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Mevcut mikro literatürün aksine, bu çalışmanın bulguları, ev sahibi olma ve işsizlik olasılığı arasındaki pozitif bağlantı için Oswald hipotezinden yanadır.

Unemployment and Homeownership in Turkey: A Preliminary Analysis

Öz

Using individual-level data, this paper aims to explore the link between homeownership and unemployment in Turkey. The Oswald hypothesis states that high homeownership is detrimental to labor market outcomes by restricting the geographical mobility of job searchers. Micro-evidence, however, indicates that homeowners have relatively favorable labor market outcomes. In contrast with the existing micro literature, the findings of this study are in favor of the Oswald hypothesis for the positive link between homeownership and unemployment probability.
