ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11146-010-9298-4 | Abstract: | Swap spreads predicted by the traditional risk-neutral valuation models are much lower than the quoted market spreads for property index linked swaps (Patel and Pereira, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 36:5-21, 2008). This paper attempts to develop a utility indifference-based model for evaluating the reservation spreads of swap receivers and payers based on the principle of expected wealth utility equivalence rather than the traditional risk-neutral argument. Under the proposed model framework, this paper addresses the determination of the swap spreads. When the incompleteness of real estate markets and heterogeneity of representative agents are taken into consideration, it is shown that the agents' risk preferences and heterogeneous beliefs about expected future property returns are the remarkable determinants for the swap spreads. Our model also identifies market power and the settlement rules in the event of counterparty default as important factors in determining the swap spreads. Our model provides a possible interpretation for the difference between the spreads predicted by the traditional models and the actual market spreads. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011. | Source Title: | Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/46151 | ISSN: | 08955638 | DOI: | 10.1007/s11146-010-9298-4 |
