Modeling futures market risk simultaneously influenced by macro low-frequency information and daily risk factors is a valuable challenge. We propose a new general framework for it based on the flexible GARCH-MIDAS model. It uses a skewed t distribution to describe the asymmetry of long and short...

We examine whether sizable initial public offerings (IPOs) affect the whole market. Using a Chinese IPO sample, we find robust evidence that sizable IPOs do depress the market price on not only the listing day but also the offering (subscription) day. The impact on the market is negatively...

We document Chinese effects on international residential property price growth. We show that faster growth of the housing prices is associated with larger declines in recent past growth of China's GDP, larger increases in China's savings rate, or stronger rise in China's risks. These results are...

This paper studies how commodity price movements have affected the local house prices in commodity-dependent economies, Australia and New Zealand. We build a geographically hierarchical empirical model and find the commodity prices influence local house prices directly and also indirectly...

This paper proposes an improved net rate methodology to use the assessed land values to proxy the land contribution in real estate appraisals. The assumption in the method is that neighbourhood effects are capitalised into uniform land assessments. Compared to the traditional sales comparison...

This paper proposes an improved net rate analysis using the assessed land values to proxy market land values in real estate appraisals. Compared to the traditional sales comparison approach, the method has greatly simplified the comparison process and extended the potential pool of comparable...

While previous studies investigate the determinants of housing prices when the seller chooses between an English auction and negotiation, this paper allows sellers to choose among negotiation, English auction, and first-price sealed-bid auction (i.e., tender) by employing a sample of 46,600...

There was a problem for the effectiveness of monetary policy by setting OCR changes to influence house price movements. We find that the announced OCR changes had a close link to the floating or short-term mortgage rate changes, and in contrast house price movements were linked to long-term...
