A -25% United Kingdom housing shock. Every path is a model impulse response versus baseline, not a forecast and not financial advice.
This note traces the model response to a -25% United Kingdom housing shock. Every path is an impulse response versus an unchanged baseline — not a forecast of what will happen in the world and not a reading of market data. The chapters that follow are already sorted by the size of the GDP response.
United Kingdom is where the shock lands. GDP contracts by 3.27% by Q20, a first-order GDP response for a -25% United Kingdom housing shock. Equities soften 8.09%, and the three-year CPI impulse is -0.71 percentage points. The move shows up first in private investment, then in household consumption and government spending. That is the main adjustment: a change in financial conditions and real income, then the usual lag into activity and prices. It is the conditional elasticity to the shock that was switched on, not a prediction that this path will be realised.
Spillovers are not a carbon copy of that first path. Netherlands contracts by 0.14% versus baseline by Q20 — a moderate GDP response. Equities soften 0.37%. The move shows up first in private investment, then in household consumption and employment. Switzerland contracts by 0.14% versus baseline by Q14 — a moderate GDP response. Equities soften 0.52%, and the three-year CPI impulse is -0.06 percentage points. The move shows up first in private investment, then in household consumption and employment. Germany contracts by 0.11% versus baseline by Q14 — a moderate GDP response. Equities soften 0.21%. The move shows up first in private investment, then in real wages and employment. The contrast is the point: neighbours feel a fraction of the housing-country hit, not a copy of it.
France contracts by 0.10% versus baseline by Q14 — only a small GDP response. Equities soften 0.20%. The move shows up first in private investment, then in government debt and employment.
For the lead economy, United Kingdom, the financial backdrop looks like this. On the government curve, 30-year bond prices rally 23.23% by Q20, and unused tenors stay in the background rather than getting a sentence each; the NEER prints a trade-weighted depreciation (-0.25% in Q20). Treat those as the financial backdrop, not as extra shocks, unless they appear in the active treatment.
Read GDP as percent of baseline GDP: −0.52 is minus half a percent, never −52%. A 200 basis-point move is 2.00 percentage points on the policy rate. CPI over three years is the sum of twelve quarterly impulses, not an annualised rate. A rising real exchange rate is a real depreciation — a weaker, more competitive home currency.
The remaining economies are smaller spillovers, written in the same order in the chapters that follow. Each chapter is a desk note, not a catalog of every series. This material is a model-based summary and is not financial advice.
