Policies targeting the loan-to-value ratio are found to have a larger impact than policies targeting the debtservice ratio, such as amortization. This is because there are more wealth-constrained borrowers than income-constrained borrowers entering the housing market.

Nous utilisons pour ce faire un modèle de microsimulation de la demande de prêts hypothécaires des accédants à la propriété. Nous constatons que les politiques qui visent le rapport prêt-valeur ont un effet plus marqué que celles visant le ratio du service de la dette, comme les politiques relatives à l'amortissement. Ce résultat s'explique par le fait que, chez les accédants à la propriété, les emprunteurs soumis à des contraintes de richesse sont plus nombreux que ceux qui subissent des contraintes liées au revenu. Sujet : Réglementation et politiques relatives au système financier Codes JEL : D14, G28, C63 Non-Technical SummarySince the global financial crisis, macroprudential housing-finance tools have been increasingly utilized to reduce financial system vulnerabilities related to housing market imbalances. This paper combines loan-level administrative data with household-level survey data to analyze the impact of recent macroprudential policy changes in Canada using a microsimulation model of mortgage demand of first-time homebuyers. Macroprudential policy can directly affect household borrowing through wealth and income constraints by limiting or expanding access to the mortgage market. The macroprudential tools we analyze include changes to the maximum allowable amortization and the maximum allowable loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. We find that policies targeting the LTV ratio are found to have a larger impact than policies targeting the debt-service ratio, such as amortization. This is because there are more wealth-constrained borrowers than income-constrained borrowers entering the housing mark...

In this thesis, I add to the literature which uses microdata to assess how economic outcomes are influenced by the financial condition of firms and households.In my first chapter, I analyze whether leverage impacts the growth rates of capital expenditures and employment for US and Canadian publicly traded firms in a non-I also extend thanks to my co-authors of the third chapter of my thesis: Jason Allen, Brian Petersen and Tom Roberts. I thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration while writing this paper.Lastly, I extend thanks to my fellow graduate student and friend Anderson Nzanbandora. The study sessions in the Tim Noël room were immensely helpful in preparing for the comprehensive exams.v Contents Abstract iiAcknowledgements v
