What drives housing price dynamics: cross-country evidence

Kostas Tsatsaronis and Haibin Zhu

BIS Quarterly Review, 2004

Abstract: House prices generally depend on inflation, the yield curve and bank credit, but national differences in the mortgage markets also matter. House prices are more sensitive to short-term rates where floating rate mortgages are more widely used and more aggressive lending practices are associated with stronger feedback from prices to bank credit.
