We formalize the Keynesian insight that aggregate demand driven by sentiments can generate output fluctuations under rational expectations. When production decisions must be made under imperfect information about demand, optimal decisions based on sentiments can generate stochastic...

The price-rent ratio is highly volatile and predicts future returns for commercial real estate. Price-rent variations in commercial real estate also tend to comove with investment and output. We develop a general equilibrium model that explicitly introduces a rental market and incorporates...

In the U.S. economy during the past 25 years, house prices exhibit fluctuations considerably larger than house rents, and these large fluctuations tend to move together with business cycles. We build a simple theoretical model to characterize these observations by showing the tight connection...
