The Unassuming Economist

From a paper by Saliu, Mojeed Olanrewaju and Akode, Thomas Ojo:

“This study examines the impact of macroeconomic fundamentals on the House Prices in twelve selected African countries, using time series data spanning from 2000 to 2020. The study employs Westerlund Error Correction Based Panel Cointegration test to examine the impact of some domestic (RINTR, RGDPGR, EXR, SP) and foreign (USRINTR, WRGDPGR, WOP) macroeconomic fundamentals on House Price Index. Findings from the study reveal that there is a long-run relationship between the House Price Index and The macroeconomic fundamentals. The research work also confirms that foreign macroeconomic fundamentals are better determinants of House Price than the domestic macroeconomic fundamentals in the selected African countries during the period under review.”
