Predictability in Equilibrium: The Price Dynamics of Real Estate Investment Trusts
研究了信息成本和交易成本差异如何导致房地产投资信托基金的可预测性变化，发现杠杆、规模和专注度等公司特征影响动量与反转强度。
This research hypothesizes that, in markets where information costs, transaction costs and the economic impact of information can vary widely, we should expect predictability to vary systematically. We test this hypothesis with data on equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) from 1985 to 1992. We document that levels of predictability vary with firm characteristics like leverage, size and focus. Momentum is stronger for larger, more levered REITs. Reversion is faster for focused, levered REITs. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that, in equilibrium, securities, where information is either less costly to acquire or has less impact on fundamental value, should exhibit less predictability.
