This thesis investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped consumers’ purchase timing of durable goods (housing, vehicles, and big-ticket items). Using microdata from 7,501 respondents across Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and the Netherlands (June 2020), of whom 2,062 reported pre-pandemic intentions to purchase a durable good within 12 months, and it has been constructed linear probability models to explain plan chnages. The empirical strategy treats the pandemic as an exogenous shock and decomposes channels into: direct exposure to COVID-19 (self or close contact infected), and psychological/economic perceptions captured by fear of job loss and financial concerns about COVID-19. Models include demographic and socio-economic controls (gender, age, income, education) and country fixed effects.
