This paper investigates the dynamics of property prices and their interaction with output growth in a general equilibrium model. Closed form solutions and testable hypotheses are derived from a mildly restricted version of the model. The testable hypotheses are broadly supported empirically. In...

This paper provides a rational expectations equilibrium framework to organize the following observations about the U.S. housing market from 1975 to 2007: (i) housing occupancy patterns were approximately constant, (ii) rents were stable, and (iii) house prices appreciated considerably in the...

This paper presents a simple model of the rental and homeownership markets in a unified framework. The paper then investigates the model’s positive and normative properties, applying ideas developed in search and matching theory. I analytically address the comparative static and welfare...

This paper develops a theoretical search model of apartment swap in the rental market. Using random matching mechanism, we mimic the informal Swedish swap market, which is characterized by strong rent control and dominant ownership of the apartments by municipalities. Our proposed framework...

Transaction-price residential (house) and commercial property price indexes (RPPIs and CPPIs) have inherent problems of sparse data on heterogeneous properties, more so CPPIs. In an attempt to control for heterogeneity, (repeat-sales and hedonic) panel data regression frameworks are typically...

Managing the company’s finances has always been a top concern of business entities. As a result of pandemic regulations, conditions for doing business became worse and many small and medium-size businesses faced serious financial problems. The issue of survival was on the agenda for the...

Ireland experienced a recent boom-bust cycle in the housing market. While the housing market in Ireland has been analysed at the national level there has been no research on the relationship between fundamentals and the housing market at the sub-national level. In this paper the spatial...

This study has two objectives. First, it seeks to apply a hedonic pricing model to determine whether property taxes have been capitalized into the prices of single family homes located within in the Savannah Historic Landmark District in Savannah, Georgia. A total of 593 home sales over the...

This empirical study investigates determinants of interstate real median home price differentials for the year 2005. While the literature on geographic cost-of-living differentials is well developed, the literature on geographic housing price differentials is much less so. Given the relatively...

This paper examines the effects of different specifications, functional forms and estimation methods on the results in a hedonic land price analysis for Vienna. We investigate purchase price transactions with undeveloped residential buildings plots and demolition objects in the period 1987 to...
