  • Abstract:
    The often volatile behavior of the Hong Kong housing construction activity is analysed using an annual econometric model for 1975 through 1999. Theory suggests that an increase in house prices leads to a rise in the housing stock, whereas an increase in interest rates leads to a decrease in the housing stock. However, the DiPasquale and Wheaton (1996) model does not seem to work for Hong Kong. Therefore, this study develops and uses an alternative model to show that the long-run equilibrium housing construction is constrained by total space absorption.
