On the relationship between stock prices and the quantity of moneyMartinoff, Michael January 1970 (has links)
The old Quantity Theory of the Value of Money can be expressed
as the "Equation of Exchange," MV=PT, in which M is the quantity of
money, V is the velocity of circulation of money, P is the price level,
and T is the total number of transactions during the period under consideration.
The major shortcoming of the old Quantity Theory was that
velocity (V) was taken to be numerically constant, which it is not.
The new Quantity Theory is a theory of the demand for money as
an asset, productive capital yielding a stream of income in the form
of convenience, security, and so on. According to this theory, people
hold portfolios containing money, bonds, equities, and other assets,
and they adjust their portfolios so that they obtain the maximum returns
therefrom. The demand for money can be expressed in terms of the demand
for other assets (in real terms), the behaviour of the general price
level, people's utility preferences, and their total wealth. Given a
function describing total income, an equation describing the velocity
of circulation of money can be written as the quotient of the income
function divided by the demand for money function. This is the difference
between the new and old Quantity Theories: under the old, the
velocity of money was considered to be a numerical constant; under the
new it is described as a function of income and the demand for money.
In accordance with the above theory, when a monetary disturbance
is introduced by the central bank, people will want to adjust their portfolios in such a way as to compensate for the disturbance. The
initial impact of the monetary disturbance is in the markets for the
most liquid assets: the financial markets. This idea was tested by
correlation analysis on Canadian data of money supply and stock prices
and variants thereof for the years 1924-1967.
Even after the influence of trend had been removed from the
data, statistical support was found for the above theory, but only
after the influence of random variation had been reduced by six-month
moving averaging. However, the evidence—a significant correlation of
.259 between percent change in money and percent change in stock
prices—suggests that monetary change accounts for only about 6.7 percent
of the variation in stock prices. But this conclusion must be tempered
by the realisation that variable lags of the same nature as those that
exist between monetary change and change in the level of business
activity can be expected to exist between monetary change and change in
the level of stock prices. Thus it can be argued that the results of
correlation analysis tend to understate the actual impact of monetary
change on stock prices. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate

Gentrification : an intra-urban predictive modelTourigny, Mark Claude January 1988 (has links)
Since 1970, many inner-city neighbourhoods that were the domain of low-income groups occupying cheap, dilapidated housing have attracted higher socio-economic groups. As a consequence, capital invested has increased the condition and price of inner-city housing. This phenomenon is commonly called "gentrification."
This thesis reviews the gentrification literature, analyzes gentrification within an economic framework, and uses regression analysis to test the following hypothesis: There is a lag between the first statge of gentrification, the start of demographic transition, and the second stage, rising real housing prices. An increase in real housing prices can, therefore, be predicted by observing which central neighbourhoods are beginning to undergo demographic change.
The intra-urban gentrification model designed for this thesis regresses the change in real housing prices during the 1970s against the change in demographics during the 1960s. The sample is 95 inner-city census tracts from Vancouver, Ottawa-Hull, and Toronto.
The conclusion from statistical analysis is that rising housing prices in gentrifying neighbourhoods can indeed be predicted by observing which inner-city neighbourhoods are starting to undergo demographic change. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate

Three essays on expectations and housing price volatilityClayton, Jim 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis contains three empirical essays on the economics of house price dynamics.
The first essay derives a forward-looking rational expectations house price model and
empirically tests its ability to explain short-run fluctuations in real house prices. A novel
approach to proxying imputed rents of owner-occupied housing, as a function of housing
market fundamentals, is derived and combined with a housing market arbitrage relation
to derive a present value model for real house prices. Tests of the rational expectations,
nonlinear cross-equation restrictions reject the joint null hypothesis of rational expectations and the asset-based housing price model for quarterly, single-detached house prices
in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, over the 1979-1991 sample period. The
model fails to fully capture observed house price dynamics in two real estate booms but
tracks real house prices well in less volatile times, suggesting that prices may temporarily
deviate from fundamental values in real estate market upswings.
The second essay develops and applies a test of the joint null hypothesis of rational
expectations, and no risk premium in the Vancouver condominium apartment market.
The results show that, on average, ex post house price changes move in the opposite
direction than their rational expectation under risk neutrality. This essay also documents
the predictability of excess annual condominium returns using lags of annual returns and
the rent/price ratio, and quarterly returns with short-term nominal interest rates. It
further shows that deviations of house price changes from their (risk neutral) rational
expectation are both stationary and related to the stage of the real estate price cycle.
The third essay examines whether a time-varying housing market risk premium can
explain deviations in house price fluctuations from those predicted by the rational expectations hypothesis under risk neutrality. If homeowners are risk averse and housing
price risk is not completely diversifiable then housing market efficiency implies that re
turns to housing investment should be positively correlated with a premium for bearing
risk. The first part of the essay shows that, in theory, the finding of negative slope co-efficients in tests of unbiased house price expectations under risk neutrality (in chapter
3) is attributable to omitted risk considerations if two conditions are satisfied: (1) the
covariance between the risk premium and expected house price appreciation under risk
neutrality is negative, and; (2) the variance of the risk premium is considerably larger
than the variance of expected appreciation under risk neutrality. The second part of the
essay uses a conditional capital asset pricing model to investigate whether predictable
returns in the Vancouver housing market are time-varying risk premia. The empirical
results are inconclusive. / Business, Sauder School of / Real Estate Division / Graduate

Exchange rate determination and equity prices: Evidence from the UKLitsios, Ioannis 2014 February 1914 (has links)
Yes / This paper develops a model of optimal choice over an array of different assets, including domestic and foreign bonds, domestic and foreign equities, and domestic and foreign real money balances, with a view to examine whether stock markets have an effect on the exchange rate in the long-run. The model is tested using data from the UK and the USA. Evidence suggests that the UK stock market has a significant effect on the value of the pound's sterling nominal effective exchange rate in the long-run over the period 1982 to 2011.
