Monetary Policy's Influence on Real Estate Price in China: An Analysis Based on VAR Model

Abstract:

Monetary policy has a significant effect on real estate price, and monetary policymakers need to have quick response. Based on the assumptions that monetary policy and real estate price influence each other and variables affect one another with a lag, A VAR model is designed and modified. Through impulse-response analysis and variance analysis, the influence of money supply and that of interest rate on real estate price are tested and compared. We found that: both money supply and interest rate could affect the real estate price; interest rate has a bigger influence that money supply does; as time goes on, the influence of money supply changes little, but that of interest rate enhances; interest rate policy is not easy to control and it will lead to a fluctuation of economy and the fluctuation may enhance, money supply is a better method to regulate real estate industry instead.
