We study the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) of Asian four countries such as Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and China on housing market returns in Korea. Also, we document the relationship between the EPU index of those four countries and the housing market including macroeconomic indicators in Korea. The EPU index of those four countries has significantly a negative effect on the housing purchase price index, housing lease price index in Korea. The EPU index in Korea and Japan has significantly a negative effect on the CPI. The EPU index in only Japan has significantly a negative effect on the PPI. The EPU index in Hong Kong and Korea has significantly a negative effect but the EPU index in China significantly has a positive effect on the stock price index in construction industry. The EPU index in only Korea has significantly a negative effect the stock price index in banking industry. This study shows the EPU index of the Korea has the negative relationships on the housing market economy rather than other countries by VECM. And this study has an important evidence of the spillover of several macroeconomic indicators in Korea for the EPU index of the Asian four countries.

Purpose - Considering the importance of housing needs to real estate market, domestic studies on real estate prices from the perspective of demand are basically based on macro-data, but relatively few are associated with micro-data of urban real estate demand. We try to find a reliable relation of elasticity of demand and commercial housing market. Research design, data, and methodology - In this paper, we have derived housing demand theoretic method and have utilized micro-data of residential family housing survey of downtown area in Kunming City in October, 2015 to estimate income elasticity and price elasticity of housing demand respectively and make a comparative analysis. Results - The results indicate that income elasticity and price elasticity of families with owner-occupied housing are both larger than those of families with rental housing. Income elasticity of housing demand of urban residential families in Kunming is far below the foreign average and eastern coastal cities level, however, the corresponding price elasticity is far higher. Conclusions - We suggest that housing affordability of urban families in western China are constrained by the level of economic development, and the current housing price level has exceeded the economic affordability and psychological expectation of ordinary residents. Furthermore, noticing the great rigidity of housing demand, the expansion space of housing market for improvement and for commodity is limited.

Purpose - Before the year 2000, the housing prices in Korea were increasing every decade. After 2000, for the first time, Korea experienced a decrease in housing prices, and the repetitive cycle of price fluctuation started. Such a "boom and bust cycle" is a worldwide phenomenon. The current study proposes a mathematical model to explain price fluctuation cycles based on the theory of consumer psychology. Specifically, the model incorporates the effects of buyer expectations of future prices on actual price changes. Based on the model, this study investigates various independent variables affecting the amplitude of price fluctuations in housing markets. Research design, data, and methodology - The study provides theoretical analyses based on a mathematical model. The proposed model uses the following assumptions of the pricing mechanism in housing markets. First, the price of a house at a certain time is affected not only by its current price but also by its expected future price. Second, house investors or buyers cannot predict the exact future price but make a subjective prediction based on observed price changes up to the present. Third, the price is determined by demand changes made in previous time periods. The current study tries to explain the boom-bust cycle in housing markets with a mathematical model and several numerical examples. The model illustrates the effects of consumer price elasticity, consumer sensitivity to price changes, and the sensitivity of prices to demand changes on price fluctuation. Results - The analytical results imply that even without external effects, the boom-bust cycle can occur endogenously due to buyer psychological factors. The model supports the expectation of future price direction as the most important variable causing price fluctuation in housing market. Consumer tendency for making choices based on both the current and expected future price causes repetitive boom-bust cycles in housing markets. Such consumers who respond more sensitively to price changes are shown to make the market more volatile. Consumer price elasticity is shown to be irrelevant to price fluctuations. Conclusions - The mechanism of price fluctuation in the proposed model can be summarized as follows. If a certain external shock causes an initial price increase, consumers perceive it as an ongoing increasing price trend. If the demand increases due to the higher expected price, the price goes up further. However, too high a price cannot be sustained for long, thus the increasing price trend ceases at some point. Once the market loses the momentum of a price increase, the price starts to drop. A price decrease signals a further decrease in a future price, thus the demand decreases further. When the price is perceived as low enough, the direction of the price change is reversed again. Policy makers should be cognizant that the current increase in housing prices due to increased liquidity can pose a serious threat of a sudden price decrease in housing markets.

Purpose - We investigate the relationship between economic policy uncertainty (EPU) of the US and China and housing distribution economy in Korea using EPU indexes of two countries and the economic indicators in Korea. Research design, data, and methodology - We use the data such as the Korean housing price stability index (HPSI), housing purchase price index (HPPI), housing lease price index (HLPI), banking stock index (BSI), and consumer price index (CPI) with EPU indexes from January 1999 to December 2017. As an empirical methodology, we select the vector error correction model (VECM) due to the existence of cointegration. Result - As results of the impulse response function, the impact of the US EPU index has initially a negative response on the Korean HPSI, HPPI, and HLPI referring the housing distribution market including the economic variables, BSI, and CPI. Likewise, the impact of index in China has initially a negative response on economic indicators except the BSI in Korea. Conclusions - This study shows that the EPU index of the US has significantly negative relationships on all economic indicators in Korea. In this study, we reveal EPU of the US and China has dynamic impact on housing distribution economy returns in Korea.

1997년 말의 경제위기 상황 이후 한국의 부동산 시장에서의 공급 증가 및 수요의 위축으로 부동산 가격이 크게 폭락하였다. 주택 시장에 있어서도 실질소득이 감소와 주택금융의 부족 등에 의한 수요의 감소로 단기간 동안 주택가격이 급격히 하락하였다. 그러나, 부동산 경기 부양을 유도하는 정책적인 기제에 의해 1998년 말 이후 주택가격이 다시 상승하게 되었다. 이 경우 주택 가격 하락기나 그 이후의 회복기에 도시별 격차가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 각 도시들은 주택 가격의 하락률과 상승률의 차이에 따라 4개 그룹으로 구분될 수 있다. 몇몇 도시들에서는 주택 가격의 하락기에는 급격한 하락을 보인 대신 상승기에는 다시 비교적 빠른 상승세를 보여 경제 위기 이전의 상황으로 그 수준이 거의 회복되었다. 그러나, 반면에 다른 몇몇의 도시들에서는 주택시장이 침체에서 벗어나지 못한 채 회복기 이후에도 계속 하락하는 추세를 보였다. 이러한 격차는 주택 매매 가격뿐만 아니라 주택 전세 가격에도 뚜렷이 나타났다. 특히, 수도권 일대의 전세가격 상승 정도는 주택 시장 침체기에 나타났던 하락을 상회하였고, 일부 지역의 재개발 계획과 그에 대한 기대 심리로 인해 전세 수요의 급증을 초래하기도 하였다. 결과적으로 금융위기에 따른 경제 침체기를 경험하고 극복하는 과정에서 도시간 주택 시장의 격차는 더 크게 벌어지게 되었다.

본 연구는 신규 아파트 가격의 규제에 대한 결과로 나타난 신규 아파트의 분양가격과 입주 시점의 매매가격의 차이 즉 프리미엄의 원인을 규명하고자 하였다. 분석 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 부산지역 아파트 시장은 기존의 주택 형태에서 벗어나 새로운 형태의 아파트에 대한 수요가 높은 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 분석결과 아파트의 층수가 고층이고 타워형 아파트인 경우에 가격 상승이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 주택의 형태도 더 많은 베이를 가진 아파트가 가격이 상승하는 것으로 드러났다. 둘째, 신규 아파트의 가격은 주거한 후에 평가되는 가격이 아니므로 가격상승에 대한 기대감을 높여주는 단지정보가 가격상승에 중요하게 작용하는 것으로 분석할 수 있다. 유의하게 나타난 변수는 녹지율과 아파트 세대수, 브랜드 및 도심지 접근성 등과 같은 변수였는데, 이러한 경향은 기존의 중고 아파트에 대한 연구 결과와 동일한 것이다. 셋째, 신규 아파트 중에서도 대단지의 규모를 가지며 건설업도급순위 상위에 위치하는 건설회사의 브랜드 아파트가 가격 상승률이 높은 것으로 분석되었는데, 이는 지역 건설 업체의 불리한 상황에 대한 반증이기도 하다. 넷째, 변수들 중에서 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수는 아파트 분양가인 것으로 드러났다. 각종 선행연구들에서는 아파트 가격 상승요인으로 정부의 분양가격 규제정책을 지목하였는데, 분양가격의 규제로 인해 주택의 초기 분양가가 시장가격보다 낮게 책정되어 아파트 입주시에 가격이 상승하게 된다는 것이다. 또한 하부시장 특성에 대한 중요성을 알 수 있었는데, 중고주택시장의 상승률, 제1선호구와 제2선호구, 아파트 비율이 유의한 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다.

This study examines the impact of sentiment shock, which is defined as a stochastic innovation to the Housing Market Confidence Index (HMCI) that is orthogonal to past housing price changes, on aggregate housing price changes and housing price volatility. This paper documents empirical evidence that sentiment shock has a statistically significant relationship with Korea's aggregate housing price changes. Specifically, the key findings show that an increase in sentiment shock predicts a rise in the aggregate housing price and a drop in its volatility at the national level. For the Seoul Metropolitan Region (SMR), this study also suggests that sentiment shock is positively associated with one-month-ahead aggregate housing price changes, whereas an increase in sentiment volatility tends to increase housing price volatility as well. In addition, the out-of-sample forecasting exercises conducted here reveal that the prediction model endowed with sentiment shock and sentiment volatility outperforms other competing prediction models.
