What drives Hong Kong’s residential property market—A Markov switching present value model
نویسنده
چکیده
The property market of Hong Kong is one of the most volatile in the world. This study attempts to investigate the proposition that the Hong Kong residential market is only driven by fundamentals. The investigation is based on a Markov switching present value model, which explicitly accounts for a rational speculative bubble. The estimates show that not only does the model capture the asymmetric market responses to information and noise, but it also gives evidence on investor heterogeneity. The study also finds that the influence of the rational bubble is statistically significant. r 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 02.50.Ph; 02.50.Ed; 02.90.+p; 05.90.+m

Estimating Stock Price in Energy Market Including Oil, Gas, and Coal: The Comparison of Linear and Non-Linear Two-State Markov Regime Switching Models
A common method to study the dynamic behavior of macroeconomic variables is using linear time series models; however, they are unable to explain nonlinear behavior of the series. Given the dependency between stock market and derivatives, the behavior of the underlying asset price can be modeled using Markov switching process properties and the economic regime significance. In this paper, a two-...
متن کاملHas Tehran Stock Market Calmed Down after Global Financial Crisis?Markov Switching GARCH Approach
We have introduced an early warning system for volatility regimes regarding Tehran Stock Exchange using Markov Switching GARCH approach. We have examined whether Tehran Stock Market has calmed down or more specifically, whether the surge in volatility during 2007-2010 global financial crises still affects stock return volatility in Iran. Doing so, we have used a regime switching GARCH model. ...
متن کاملConsumption, Housing Rents, and Housing Price: A Test of a Real Estate Pricing Model Using Hong Kong Data
The present study investigates whether Hong Kong’s volatile real estate market is consistent with a non-linear consumption-based-asset-pricing model. It finds that the assetpricing model is not rejected for some types of properties. However, the differentials between the returns to residential properties and risk-free rate are too large to be explained by the model.
متن کاملA Hierarchical Bayesian Approach for Residential Property Valuation: Application to Hong Kong Housing Market
We have developed a statistical method for the valuation of residential properties using a hierarchical Bayesian approach, which takes into consideration the unique structure of the Hong Kong property market. Our model is calibrated on a dataset that covers all residential real estate transactions in ten major Hong Kong residential complexes from February 2008 to February 2009. Although parsimo...
متن کاملNon-Linear Relationships Among Oil Price, Gold Price and Stock Market Returns in Iran: A Multivariate Regime-Switching Approach
In this paper, the effects of oil and gold prices on stock market index are investigated. We use a cointegrated vector autoregressive Markov-switching model to examine the nonlinear properties of these three variables during the period of January 2003 - December 2014. The Markov-switching vector-equilibrium-correction model with three regimes representing "deep recession", "mild recession" and ...
