In 1997, Indonesia suffered an economic crisis. This crisis had a great impact on the livelihoods in Indonesia. In this paper we estimate the effect of the crisis on demand for house characteristics. We express the demand on house characteristics in terms of willingness to pay, which is elicited from a hedonic price model. To estimate the crisis effect, we adopt a continuous time modeling approach, namely the exact discrete time structural equation model (EDM-SEM), and apply it to a three-wave panel data set of Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS). We show that due to the crisis, the average valuation on certain house characteristics is reduced by 46.52%.
