摘要

我们研究了住房不安全对心理健康的影响。我们使用由于缺钱而导致的房租拖欠作为住房不安全的直接衡量标准，并采用差异中的差异框架，使我们能够将住房不安全的影响与更普遍的经历经济困难的影响区分开来。我们发现，住房不安全导致心理健康下降。进一步的分析揭示了异质性的两个重要方面：先前财政困难的持续时间和住房不安全的程度。长期经济困难的租房者和那些经历高度住房不安全（定义为拖欠租金和租金收入比高）的租房者，对他们的心理健康的负面影响最大。

Housing insecurity, financial hardship and mental health

We examine the impact of housing insecurity on mental health. We use missed rental payments due to a shortage of money as a direct measure of housing insecurity and a difference-in-differences framework that allows us to differentiate the effect of housing insecurity from the effect of experiencing financial hardship more generally. We find that housing insecurity causes a decline in mental health. Further analysis reveals two important dimensions of heterogeneity: the duration of prior financial hardship and the intensity of housing insecurity. Renters in prolonged financial hardship and those who experience high levels of housing insecurity (defined as missing a rental payment and having a high rent to income ratio), experience the largest negative impacts on their mental health.
