本研究主要探討台灣地區自有住宅與生育決策之間的關連性，利用1994年至2005年台灣地區23個縣市之自有住宅率與一般生育率作為實證研究的資料，欲說明一個家庭在面對預算限制式之下，自有住宅對於生育行為的影響，究竟兩者之間存在互補關係抑或競爭關係。本文參考簡單生育理論模型建立迴歸模型，再利用Panel Data實證模型，分析自有住宅與生育決策之間的關係。
根據台灣地區之官方資料所得出的實證結果，得出以下結論：當生育率遞延一期之時，住宅的持有對於生育行為存在負向關係，顯示出自有住宅於購買初期會延後生育決策的形成，兩者之間存在資源排擠效果；而當生育率遞延兩期時，兩者之間的資源排擠效果更為強大。此外，女性受教程度越高，隱含在工作中所獲得的報酬越高，養育子女的機會成本也就越高，與生育率為負向關係。家戶所得亦等同理論預期，與生育率為正向關係。其他變數，如：代表景氣循環的失業率與反應國情文化的龍虎年效應均與原先預期一致，生育行為有著順景氣循環的特性；台灣生育決策與龍虎年息息相關。 / The thesis presents the relationship between home-ownership and the birth of children in Taiwan. Housing factor might affects childbirth in complement or replacement way with limited budget in a family. In this study, general fertility rate represents decision of childbirth and homeownership rate means housing factor. This research uses 1994-2005 panel data from the statistic institutions in Taiwan to examine the factors which influence decision of having children, especially housing factor.
The results of the empirical study are summarized as follows: If the decisions of childbirth are lagged a year and two years, they both suffer negative effects from home-ownership. The negative effect of the latter is larger that that of the former. This finding shows that the cost of home-ownership might compete with that of having children. This study also finds that there is a negative relationship between female education and the birth of children. Household income is significant to improve decision of childbirth. Both are consistent with the expectation of theory. Concerning the procyclical behavior of fertility, the study demonstrates that an increase in the unemployment rate generates a decrease in fertility. In addition, having children is correlated with the cultural factors.
