Efficiency of Chinese Real Estate Market Based on Complexity-Entropy Binary Causal Plane Method

Abstract

Real estate market is a complex system. A rational real estate market is not only helpful to people's living standards but also beneficial to countries’ macroeconomic stability. Is Chinese real estate market rational? This paper attempts to study the efficiency of Chinese real estate market by using the complexity-entropy binary causal plane method. We firstly discuss the formation mechanism of real estate price, which provides a theoretical basis for testing the efficiency, and compute the real estate market efficiency of 70 main Chinese cities. The results show that neither the whole market nor the main cities have reached the weak efficiency, and the efficiency and complexity of each city are different, and the relationship between them is significantly negative. In addition, this paper also compares the efficiency and complexity of Chinese real estate market with American real estate market. Then, some suggestions for the healthy development of Chinese real estate market in the future are put forward.

Real Estate Valuations with Small Dataset: A Novel Method Based on the Maximum Entropy Principle and Lagrange Multipliers

“…Brown [26] first investigated the effectiveness of entropy in explaining the inefficiency of the real estate market, followed by Chen et al [27].…”

Housing Vacancy Rate in Major Cities in China: Perspectives from Nighttime Light Data

“…From the fact that the vacancy rate in most Chinese cities is higher than 20% and given the relationship between the vacancy rate and housing prices, we can observe that the Complexity housing hoarding phenomenon in China is still considerable. ere remains strong interest in purchasing houses, and real estate is still regarded as an investment with financial attributes [5]. In cities with lower housing prices, real estate development is generally delayed, residents have higher purchasing power, and many families own multiple homes.…”

“…China's rapid economic development has garnered global attention; however, the associated social problems cannot be ignored [3,4]. e real estate industry has made a considerable contribution to the process of rapid economic development [5].…”

Technological Change and Market Conditions: Evidence from Bitcoin Fork

“…Te fndings mostly suggested that the Bitcoin market was rife with randomness, unpredictability, and disorder [20,21]. However, prior studies on long-run equilibrium are still limited for the cryptocurrency market in comparison to other fnancial markets, such as stock [22,23], energy [19,24,25], and real estate [17,26,27]. In particular, to the best of our knowledge, no single study has been conducted to assess the long-run equilibrium in the new and old fork markets by using the concept of entropy.…”
