Abstract: We examine the amount of the comovement among real estate investment trusts (REITs) around the world by estimating implied (risk-adjusted) comovements using a factor model approach. Our investigation uses a sample of individual REITs from 21 developed economies from 1990 to 2015 to examine whether cross-border comovements are observable. Our findings provide evidence of comovements after controlling for common risk factors and relevant firm characteristics. Furthermore, we show that the comovements increase over time and are more common for larger and more liquid REITs. The results indicate that country-level factors such as the local market conditions, financial development, domestic exchange rates, credit constraints, and governance significantly affect the amount of comovements.
