Title Housing Bubble and Determinants of House Prices: Azerbaijan Case
Summary In this thesis I try to find out the existence of bubble period in real house prices in Azerbaijan and house price determinants. I mainly use three approaches: simple affordability and sustainability indicators, asset pricing approach and VECM methodology. Indicators show the period between 2002 and mid-2006 as bubble period in house prices. Asset pricing approach does not reject the existence of a bubble in this period. I construct VECM in order to analyze short-run dynamics of real house prices with fundamentals. In the long-run equilibrium real income and real interest rate are taken as fundamentals. In the short-run only interest rate plays a role in the dynamics of real house prices. House prices adjust to the long-run equilibrium nine percent in a quarter.
