abstract: In the past years, the share of single-person households in Europe has been increasing and is expected to keep growing in the coming years. This thesis examines the association between singleperson households and property prices by using an instrument variable approach within a two-stage least square regression (2SLS), using 67,524 observations of property transactions in Paris metropolitan area, France in 2015. Results show a positive association between the share of single-person households and property prices, moreover the association between single-person households and apartment prices, compared to house prices is tested and discussed. These results are relevant for housing market analysts and investors and helps in understanding market factors, as well as for policy makers and city planners for planning and provision of housing.
