Abstract: The presentation will introduce the HFCS in Austria and its most recent applications to analyze financial stability and monetary policy. After an in-depth discussion on the methodology (concerning the questionnaire, sample design, interviewer, field work and editing, weighting, imputation, variance estimation), we present the results of four selected applications using the Austrian HFCS data. The applications are (1) the distribution of residential property price changes across homeowners and its implications for financial stability, (2) simulating the impact of borrower-based macroprudential policies on mortgages and the real estate sector, (3) the wealth channel of monetary policy transmission, and (4) on the effectiveness of LTV, DTI and DSTI ratio limits as macroprudential policy tools.
