Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar on Wednesday, January 12th, with Hans Manner (University of Graz) on "Spillover in the UK Housing Market" Abstract: We study spillovers between regional housing markets in the UK in the period 1973 to 2020. The analysis is based on a vector autoregressive model that allows for structural breaks in its parameters at unknown times. In particular, we allow for distinct breakpoints in the conditional mean, variance and correlation parameters, which enables us to distinguish different spillover channels. Based on the resulting piecewise constant model we compute the spillover index by Diebold and Yilmaz. We find significant time variation of the spillover index that indicates a decreasing role of London for the rest of the country, but that also indicates reduced contagion risk and the existence of the North-South divide that declined later in the sample. Furthermore, a central role of the Midlands is demonstrated. Date: Wednesday, January 12th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room D4.0.039 The following COVID-19-related regulations apply to all events at the WU campus need to be fulfilled for attending the research seminar: 2.5G proof and controls * You should only attend classroom units if you are not ill. * To participate in presence units, you have to show a 2.5G certificate (PCR-Tested, Vaccinated, Convalescent) upon request.
