The housing bubble in China

Ba, Lei January 2012 (has links)
Language: English Title: The Housing Bubble in China Abstract: This paper studies the housing price boom in recent decade since 2003 in China. The study focuses on four municipalities of China, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing. Despite the fact that the whole country is suffering a sky soaring housing boom, this paper reveals a regional difference between two types of big cities. Better developed cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are experiencing greater volatility in the boom and economic fundamentals have less explanatory power to the price increases. Oppositely, less developed cities such as Tianjin and Chongqing have relatively sustainable housing prices which are better supported by economic fundamentals. Finally, this paper concludes that Beijing and Shanghai are experiencing a bubble in the housing prices, if the public expectation on economic growth cannot maintain, the bubble will burst.

Bostadsbubbla på den svenska marknaden? / Price bubble on the Swedish housing market?

Rosell, Oskar January 2015 (has links)
Svenska bostadsmarknaden har de senaste åren varit ett hett diskussionsämne i media. Kanske beror det på att bostadspriserna har stigit i en snabbare takt de senaste 15 åren jämfört med de senaste 60 åren, vilket har skapat diskussioner kring en eventuell prisbubbla som skulle orsaka stora problem för många. När nobelpristagaren i ekonomi 2013 Robert Shiller samtidigt som det blev officiellt att han blivit tilldelad priset, gick ut med att han tror att risken för en bubbla är stor på Svenska bostadsmarknaden, var ingenting som fick debatten att upphöra. Efter uttalandet har bostadspriserna gått upp med ännu raskare takt än vad de gjort tidigare och gör frågan än mer aktuell än tidigare. Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka vilka faktorer som är tillämpliga vid en prisbubblas bildande samt undersöka huruvida risken är stor idag för att en sådan ska inträffa med fokus på vad som vad som skedde under 90-talet när en prisbubbla senast uppstod på den Svenska bostadsmarknaden. Har vi idag en stor risk för en bostadsbubbla i Sverige? Samt vilka faktorer tyder på att risken är stor respektive vilka tyder på att risken är mindre? Det är några av frågorna som ska bli besvarade i uppsatsen För att kunna undersöka huruvida bubbla föreligger har personer med lång erfarenhet inom byggbranschen intervjuats som också har en relevant befattning inom respektive institution eller företag. Resultatet visar att många faktorer pekar på att det inte finns någon bubbla i Sverige, samtidigt som det fortfarande inte går att förkasta att risken finns, då vissa faktorer pekar på just det. Det som visar sig mest troligt är dock en mer jämn marknad där priserna varken går upp eller ner. / Swedish housing market in recent years has been a hot topic in the media. Perhaps it is because housing prices have risen at a faster pace over the past 15 years compared to the past 60 years, creating discussions about a possible price bubble that could cause major problems for many. When the Nobel Prize in economics in 2013, Robert Shiller, while it became official that he has been awarded the prize, went out with that he believes that the risk of a bubble is big at the Swedish housing market, this did not put an end of the debate. After the statement, housing prices have gone up even more rapidly than what it has previously and makes the issue even more relevant than before. The purpose of this report is to examine the factors that are relevant at a housing bubble formation and examine whether the risk is big today to such a thing to occur, with a focus on what happened in the 90s when a price bubble later arose on the Swedish housing market. Do we have a high risk of a housing bubble today on Swedish housing market? What factors suggest that the risk is big and which suggest that the risk is less? These are some question that will be answered during the essay In order to investigate whether a bubble exists or not, people with long experience in the construction industry were interviewed who also has a relevant position within the respective institution or company. The result shows that many factors indicate that there is no bubble on the Swedish housing market, while it still does not reject that possibility exists, certain factors indicate just that. It turns out that most likely, however, a more stable market where prices either go up or down.

The Spanish labor market: temporary employment, immigration and the construction boom

Aparicio Fenoll, Ainhoa 01 July 2010 (has links)
This thesis deals with different aspects of the Spanish Labor Market. The first chapter explores the impact of product market competition on job instability. Empirical results show that job instability rises with competition. The second chapter addresses the existence of network effects on immigrants' remitting behavior. Using a unique data base, I find positive network effects on the probability of remitting as well as on quantity remitted. The final chapter studies the role of the recent construction boom in explaining decisions to drop out of high-school. The construction boom is shown to increase the likelihood of dropping out of high-school. / Esta tesis trata diferentes aspectos del mercado laboral español. El primer capítulo explora el impacto de la competencia en el mercado de productos sobre la inestabilidad del empleo. Los resultados empíricos muestran que la inestabilidad en el empleo crece con el nivel de competencia. El segundo capítulo plantea la existencia de efectos de las redes sociales de inmigrantes sobre el envío de remesas. Mediante el uso de una base de datos exclusiva, he encontrado efectos positivos de las redes sociales sobre la probabilidad de enviar remesas así como sobre la cantidad enviada. El último capítulo estudia el papel del reciente boom de la construcción en el abandono escolar durante la educación secundaria. Se demuestra que el boom de la construcción ha incrementado la probabilidad de abandono escolar durante la educación secundaria.
