520 ⊔ ⊔ ‡aThis dissertation presents estimates of black and white homeowner and renter income and price elasticities of housing services demand in the United States for the year 1981. The econometric model employed in this analysis takes into account the individual's twofold decision on (1) the level of housing services to select and (2) whether to own or rent a housing unit. The data set used in this study is the 1981 SMSA Annual Housing Survey, the most detailed housing database currently available. A measure of permanent income is estimated using an instrumental variables technique. Endogenously constructed racial housing price indices are built using hedonic pricing techniques for homeowners and renters in each of the fifteen Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) in the sample. These income and price terms together with a set of demographic variables and a variable which captures any simultaneity between the housing demand and tenure choice decisions are used as explanatory variables in the final housing demand equations. The results from these equations show that blacks have higher price and income elasticities of housing services demand than whites in both the homeowner and rental markets. The price elasticities are -1.04 and -1.01 for black and white owners, -0.62 and -0.12 for black and white renters. The income elasticities are 1.42 and 1.30 for black and white owners, 0.53 and 0.36 for black and white renters. Evidence of simultaneity is found between the rent and housing consumption decisions and also between the own and housing consumption decisions. On examining any changes in price and income elasticities estimates caused by using price indices (1) constructed endogenously from the Annual Housing Survey and (2) from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, differences in the relevant elasticities ranged between two and fifty-four percent.
