“…The house price hypothesis is tested by using house prices as an explanatory variable for household debt both in panel (Rubaszek and Serwa, 2014;Stockhammer and Wildauer, 2017) and time series work (Kohn and Dynan, 2007;Oikarinen, 2009;Gimeno and Martinez-Carrascal, 2010;Valverde and Fernandez, 2010;Anundsen and Jansen, 2013;Meng et al, 2013). The econometric approaches used are panel co-integration (Rubaszek and Serwa, 2014), error correction models (ECMs) (Stockhammer and Wildauer, 2017), in the panel econometric studies, and a vector error correction model (VECM) and Granger causality tests (Oikarinen, 2009), co-integrated vector autoregressive models (CVAR) (Gimeno and Martinez-Carrascal, 2010;Anundsen and Jansen, 2013;Meng et al, 2013) and OLS regressions (Kohn and Dynan, 2007), in the time-series studies.…”
