30% of first-time homebuyers get downpayment assistance from parents...

How much of the homeownership rate among young households is accounted for by parental transfers?

This paper finds:

(1) parental transfers account for 15 p.p. (31%) of the young adult homeownership rate

(2) "parental transfers account for 30% of the black-white homeownership gap"

(In short, 30% is a key % in this paper)

📔 : Using #tags will help people find your stuff. Here are some suggestions (note that there is no "correct" way to do this, but coordination helps):

#introduction (for introductions)

#econjobmarket (if you are on either side this year)

#conference
#seminar
#webinar

#newpaperalert
#TeachEcon
#EconResearch
#EconMedia

And the best for last:
#memes

@chrisadamsecon @paulgp

I propose
#TeachEcon #EconResearch #EconMedia as three additional tags to distinguish teaching, research, and media articles/blogs/general interest posts.
