“…To gain more insight on the rationale behind these econometric tests for bubbles, I follow Campbell et al (2009) and present a theoretical home pricing model for the housing market. I rst denote the de nition of the realized real gross return for holding a home for one period by…”

“…This paper addresses the question of whether recent home price appreciation in Israel re ects the existence of a national or regional housing bubble or whether it is just the result of changes in fundamental supply and demand factors. To answer this question, I integrate a housing market version of the dynamic Gordon growth model (Campbell et al, 2009), as well as advanced econometric bubble detection and monitoring strategies (Phillips et al, , 2013bHomm and Breitung, 2012). The dynamic Gordon growth model decomposes changes in the price to rent ratio into changes in the expected paths of rent price growth rates, risk-free rates and risk premiums.…”

Testing for a Housing Bubble at the National and Regional Level: The Case of Israel

Between 2008 and 2013, home prices in Israel appreciated by roughly 50 percent in real terms, with increases of nearly 60 percent in some regions. This paper examines whether this phenomenon reflects the presence of a national or regional housing bubble by applying econometric tests for explosive behavior to quality adjusted national and regional level data on the home price to rent ratio, while controlling for various fundamental factors, including interest rates, income and the leverage ratio. Overall, study results indicate that the recent housing price appreciations at the national and regional levels are consistent with the developments of the fundamentals -supply and demand factors that are represented by rent payments and interest rates -and not with a housing bubble scenario. Most of the results are robust to a variety of tests and alternate specifications. The framework I provide to study the Israeli case may be applied to study other housing markets facing similar developments.

“…One approach is to compare the rental value and prices for a set of matched rental and owner-occupied houses, as in Smith and Smith (2006). Another strategy is to assume that the growth rate in apartment rents, which are observed, is a good proxy for the growth rate in the unobserved rental value of owneroccupied housing, as in Himmelberg, Mayer, and Sinai (2005) or Campbell et al (2009). A third tactic is to use demand shifters, such as household income, to estimate rental value within the context of an economic model, as in Glaeser, Gottlieb, and Gyourko's chapter in this volume.…”

We use an event-study approach and measure the movements in both prices and quantities around the initial announcement of the LSAP and subsequent changes to the program. We use a new dataset to document the changes in the menu of rates and points offered to borrowers and show that there was wide dispersion in the rate changes generated by the announcement of the LSAP program, with some borrowers seeing immediate rate reductions of up to 40 basis points and other borrowers confronting rate increases. We show that the LSAP program led to a substantial boost in market activity, with discontinuous increases in searches, applications and originations for refinance mortgages, but not purchase mortgages. Finally, we show that more creditworthy borrowers were significantly more likely to benefit from the improved credit availability. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may
