Abstract: Based on the rolling-window bootstrap Granger causality test, this paper investigates the relationship between stock and housing markets from the perspective of China's first-, second- and third-tier cities. The result indicates that the relations between stock and housing prices change across time and city tiers. The causality mainly exists in bull market periods and financial crises. During a bull market, the effect of stock prices on housing prices is positive in cities of all tiers, and the strongest effect is found in first-tier cities; during a financial crisis, housing prices have a negative effect on stock prices, and the effect diminishes gradually from first-tier cities to third-tier cities. Therefore, economic policy makers could take these differences into account to improve policy efficiency.
