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.
