ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rfe.2008.05.002 | Abstract: | This study investigates the presence of common factors in the securitized real estate markets of the Untied States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Hong Kong (HK), and Singapore (SG). Using a combination of factor analysis and canonical correlation analysis on 10-year monthly return data for 142 real estate securities in the four markets, more common risk factors among real estate securities within a country than across countries are detected. In addition, there is at least one common securitized real estate market factor that is moderately correlated with the world real estate market, and to a lesser extent, with the world stock market. However, the degree of linkage across the four securitized real estate markets is much weaker than the strong linkages present across the four economies. It further appears that the extent to which correlations are found in international securitized real estate markets might largely be due to the increasing integrated nature of the world real economy, rather than a result of the globalization of financial markets. The results are preliminary, but indicative, and suggest that more studies exploring how common factors, together with the local market portfolio, could help explain the return-generating process of securitized real estate. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. | Source Title: | Review of Financial Economics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/46100 | ISSN: | 10583300 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.rfe.2008.05.002 |
