报告简介：
This paper employs a cointegrated Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to explore the determinants of Australian household debt. The results show that the housing prices, GDP and the population in the economy affect household borrowing positively. Meanwhile, interest rates, unemployment rate, the number of new dwellings and inflation are found to have a negative effect on Australian household debt; of these, interest rates are the most significant. Based on these results, it is judicious to rein in household debt in the economic booms through monitoring and intervening in assets market and using the monetary policy timely, comprehensively, and carefully.
