摘要
In this paper we examine long-run house price convergence across US states using a novel econometric approach advocated by Pesaran (2007) arid Pesaran et al. (2009). Our empirical modelling strategy employs a probabilistic test statistic for convergence based on the percentage of unit root rejections among all state house price differentials. Using a sieve bootstrap procedure, we construct confidence intervals and find evidence in favour of convergence. We also conclude that speed of adjustment towards long-run equilibrium is inversely related to distance. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
