Résumé anglais The Timing of First-Home Ownership: Whose Income Matters the Most? by Greg Duncan, Johanne Boisjoly and Sandra Hofferth. Purchasing a house or apartment is an important economic event in the lives of young adults. We analyze the timing of first-home purchases in the United States using longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. In particular, we assess the relative influence on this decision of the parents' past and present income and that of the young adults themselves. We find that the young adult's own combined income is most important, as shown by the significant effects for income earned in three of the four years prior to the purchase.
