Uncertainty premia in REIT returns
研究了1994至2017年间金融和房地产不确定性对美国REIT市场整体收益的影响,发现不确定性对REIT收益有负面冲击,且投资者要求风险补偿。
Abstract We provide a systematic study of how financial and real estate uncertainty affect the aggregate return performance of the U.S. REIT market from 1994 to 2017. A temporal causality analysis reveals a negative uncertainty impact on REIT returns. The asset pricing analysis confirms the predictive relation and suggests that REITs are statistically significantly exposed to changes in market‐wide uncertainty, for which investors require a return compensation. We also identify economic state variables to explain time‐varying uncertainty exposures as well as periodic hedging characteristics of REITs. Finally, we find evidence that the source of uncertainty matters for compensating expected REIT returns.
