Abstract:
This study aims to examine the interdependence of stock and house prices. For this purpose, we use quarterly data from 2008-Q1 to 2013-Q4. Seven economies are selected for this empirical investigation: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand [ASEAN-5], Korea and Hong Kong. We apply Pedroni panel cointegration and dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) to analyse the association between Asian house and stock prices. Applying time series and panel estimation simultaneously, our results suggest a positive and significant effect of stock prices on house prices except for Korea, where we found a negative relationship. More directly, stock markets are integrated with real estate markets in all selected economies except Korea. Further, the positive effects of house prices on stock prices are in support of the wealth effect hypothesis, which indicates that house prices have a positive contribution to the uplift of stock prices. Examining the timing of market changes, we found the real estate market leads the stock market in the panel analysis. Electronic finance, multiple listing databases and internet play a significant role in this interaction.
