Abstract [en]

This paper has examined the debt levels of the Swedish households with the purpose to determine the macroeconomic variables which can be used to explain the increasing debt levels. With background in the consumptions theories “The lifecycle hypotheses” and “The permanent income hypotheses” has an empiric study been conducted including five macroeconomic variables. These five independent variables have been tested towards the dependent variable Debt. The econometric study includes a multiple linear regression analysis, the outcome of the econometric study has then been tested with the Gauss Markov theorem which states if the outcome of the regressions is accurate enough to be interpreted. The data for the variables has been gathered from the Swedish statistical agency, the Swedish central bank, the Swedish national debt office and Macrobond. The outcome of the study showed that three of the five independent variables had a statistical connection to the dependent variable. Furthermore, the outcome passed the Gauss Markov theorem, except for a little autocorrelation.

Abstract [sv]

I denna uppsats har skuldsättningensnivåerna för de svenska hushållen undersökts med syftet att försöka bestämma makroekonomiska variabler som kan vara de kausala drivkrafterna bakom dess tillväxt. Med bakgrund i konsumtionsteorierna ”Livscykelhypotesen” och ”Permanenta Inkomsthypotesen” har en empirisk studie har gjorts med fem makroekonomiska variabler som testats mot studiens beroende variabel, skuldsättning. Den ekonometriska studien innefattar en multipel linjär regression. Utfallet av de ekonometriska studierna har sedan testats emot Gauss Markovs teorem för godkända regressionsresultat. Data för variablerna har hämtats från statistiska centralbyrån, Riksbanken, Riksgälden och Macrobond. Utfallet av studien visar att man kan se ett linjärt ekonometriskt samband mellan tre av de oberoende variablerna och den beroende variabeln. Utfallet av den ekonometriska studien var också nästan helt godkänd enligt Gauss Markovs teorem, med undantag för en liten tendens till autokorrelation.
