Mortgages are the largest component of household debt, and the mortgage market influences many aspects of the economy, such as homeownership and wealth accumulation, inequality, real estate prices, household balance sheets and consumption, the structure of the financial sector, financial cycles and systemic risk, and the transmission of monetary policy and macroeconomic shocks. The mortgage market has also experienced many changes in recent years, including tighter regulation, the growth of nonbank and fintech lending, and mortgage forbearance and a refinancing wave induced by the pandemic.
The Mortgage Market Research Conference is a forum for the presentation and discussion of new academic research on topics related to mortgages and the mortgage market. The conference will primarily focus on the residential mortgage market, although research on commercial mortgages will also be considered.
The conference is jointly organized by the Philadelphia Fed Consumer Finance Institute, the Research Department, and the Supervision, Regulation, and Credit Department.
