摘要:Transaction costs have attracted considerable attention in the
theoretical literature on residential mobility. In this note we
demonstrate empirically for the Netherlands that transaction
costs have a strong negative effect on an owner¡¯s probability
of moving. It appears that a one percentage-point increase in
the value of transaction costs ¨C as a percentage of the value of
the residence ¨C decreases ownership-to-ownership residential
mobility rates by eight percent.
