Macroeconometric
research
nInteresting to look at “average reactions”
n= Bell Curve economics: won’t be able to detectbubbles
nEven this conservative research: overvaluation of Belgian real estate
IMF (2006): 17%
ING (2009): 16% probable, 44% if in line with previous
correction

User cost of housing= P*(i+t+f-p)i=mortgage rate, t=tax, f= depreciation,
p=Expected capital gain
Equilibrium: rent=buy, E= P*(i+t+f-p) / = /(P E 1 i+t+f-p)So: as long as we come across exuberant
people, … (the market can stay irrationallonger than you can stay solvent, Keynes)
Expectations matter

... It has been argued that the striking housing
price increases in some countries in recentyears were a response to the sharp decreasesin interest rates, as central banks eased theirmonetary policy stance during the downturn...Monetary policy tightening appears to have
played a role in triggering housing price bustsafter booms, as short-term rates typicallyincreased toward the end of a boom andremained high into the first year of a bust.

“The dynamic factor model/FAVAR analysis
assumes that house prices are driven byfundamentals and is not designed to test forthe existence of potential bubbles.”
“In cases where house prices may have
exceeded fundamentals— which may includeAustralia, Ireland, Spain, and the UnitedKingdom-, there is a danger that higherinterest rates could trigger a much larger
downward adjustment in house prices, withconsiderably more severe consequences forreal activity.
