Abstract

This paper sets out an econometric model of the Irish building society mortgage market. It arises out of work being carried out on the housing market in Ireland. There have been a number of international studies which have tried to model housing and mortgage markets (see Muth, 1960; Whitehead, 1974; Hadjimatheou, 1976; Artis, Kiernan and Whitney, 1975; Smith, 1969; Arcelus and Metzler, 1973 and Swan, 1973). For Ireland, Nolan (1979) attempted to model the housing market while Hewitt and Thom (1979) estimated a quarterly model of Irish building society behaviour over the period 1970-77.
