This research note investigates the effects of stock market wealth and housing wealth on the demand for international tourism by the residents of Singapore while controlling for other important determinants for outbound tourism. The empirical results suggest that there are weak evidence to support the presence of stock market wealth effect and strong evidence to support the presence of housing wealth effect on outbound tourism. Weak evidence of stock market wealth effect is observed because the model derived from Akaike Information Criterion does not find significant effect of stock market wealth, but the model derived from Schwartz Criterion shows that positive stock market wealth effect is present. Strong evidence of housing wealth effect is observed because models estimated with both criteria show that housing wealth has negative effect on such consumption. The conclusion explains why the importance of public housing and the government intervention in public housing in Singapore lead to such negative housing wealth effect.

In this article, a threshold cointegration test within the framework of Autoregressive Distributed Lag model suggested by Li and Lee (2010) was employed to quantify the wealth effects in Chinese stock market and domestic housing market. The time-varying features of wealth effects in these two markets were investigated through rolling regression test. The empirical results show that the substitute effect exists in the status of strong market while the wealth effect exists in the status of weak market. It is noteworthy that the wealth effect in the stock market shows an increasing trend while the wealth effect in the housing market reveals a stable trend. The policy implication is that the authority should properly strengthen the regulation in the stock market and curb the rise of housing price when the markets are in the strong status while should increase the disposable income for residents if the markets are in the weak status.

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>This paper provides evidence that wealth in the form of stock ownership affects consumption and that the stock wealth effect has increased significantly. Using a consumption function expanded to include wealth as well as income, the paper first confirms that the data indicate the presence of a wealth effect. Then, the paper tests for a break in the relationship and finds that for stock wealth only, the consumption coefficient increased in the early 1990s.  </span></p></div></div></div>
