Abstract

In this paper, we reveal robust findings of the co-movement of real-estate loans, real-estate booms, and market interest rates by observing Chinese data and using vector auto-regressions. We construct a two-sector credit market partial equilibrium model to explain this phenomenon. The findings show that rising real-estate prices are a cause for this co-movement. We believe that an expansion in demand for real-estate loans has brought about an increase in interest rates in the credit market since 2002, which has crowded-out credit for the non-land sector. We also find that rising real-estate prices can lead to expansion in demand for real-estate loans.
