A multivariate analysis of United States and global real estate investment trusts

Abstract

Using daily data for the period February 2006 to July 2013 we examine the return and volatility linkages between the two main United States REIT sub-sectors and global linkages between the Americas, Europe and the Asia Pacific regions using the BEKK-GARCH and the DCC-GARCH models. We find that there is no evidence of any volatility spillovers between the US sub-sectors. By contrast, we find evidence of volatility spillovers between the Asia Pacific and the Americas, the Asia Pacific and Europe but no spillovers between the United States and Europe. Our results suggest that the REIT market is becoming increasingly globalized and that investors need to consider time varying volatility and correlations across different regions of the world when forming their optimal portfolio-allocations.

On the Dynamics of International Real-Estate-Investment Trust-Propagation Mechanisms: Evidence from Time-Varying Return and Volatility Connectedness Measures

“…Using the asymmetric BEKK (Baba-Engle-Kraft-Kroner) GARCH model [19], Hoesli and Reka [31] find that the REIT markets of the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia influenced the volatility of global REIT markets between 1990 and 2010 (the global REIT index is taken from the EPRA/NAREIT database). Following the same methodology, Begiazi et al [36] also provides evidence of the relatively strong integration of United States and Asian-Pacific REIT markets. Their results show bi-directional volatility linkages between the Americas and Asia Pacific as well as Europe and Asia Pacific over the period between 2006 and 2013.…”

The Impact Of Macroeconomic Variables On Real Estate Price Forecasting Modelling In Abuja Nigeria

“…The role of macroeconomic factors on real estate market able to give significant impact to the price condition which evidently can be seen in several countries. For instance the United Kingdom's real estate market in the year 1980, whereas financial liberalization caused a boom in the price, but due to interest rates' increase in the early 1990s, residential real estate prices witnessed a quick decline [2]. Moreover, United States also witnessed real estate prices increase by 61% between the years of 2000 and 2005 but declined sharply by 38% in the subsequent four years.…”

Are there “day-of-the-week” and “holiday” anomalies in the mexican stock market?

“…Besides using the conventional GARCH (1,1) model with dummy variables, this research also estimated the Exponential GARCH (EGARCH) model proposed by Nelson, (1991) and the Threshold GARCH (TGARCH) specification developed independently by Glosten, Jagannathan, & Runkle (1993) and Zakoïan (1994), revised to include exogenous variables (dummy variables in this case), following an approach similar to the procedure described for GARCH parameterizations (Begiazi & Asteriou, 2015).…”
