    What drives stock prices? The Present Value Model revisited in a comparison of developed and emerging markets
    (2008-01-15T16:19:39Z) Fraser, Patricia; Chen, Yen Hsiao
    Using a dynamic version of the present value model and a range of developed and Asian emerging markets, this paper considers what stock market prices ‘should have been’, given expectations on index cash dividends and on, more broadly defined, index earnings, and compares these fundamental prices with actual prices. Revealed deviations from fundamental value are investigated by considering types of investor behaviour which might drive such departures and whether they are influenced by spillover effects from other markets.

    House prices, fundamentals and bubbles
    (2006-01-31T13:42:12Z) Black, Angela; Fraser, Patricia; Hoesli, Martin
    This paper studies actual (real) house prices relative to fundamental (real) house values. Such a focus is warranted since housing constitutes a large fraction of most household portfolios, and its characteristics are such that, in contrast to what prevails in financial markets, arbitrage will be limited and hence correction toward ‘true’ value is likely to be a prolonged process. Using UK data and a time-varying present value approach, our results preclude the existence of an explosive rational bubble due to non-fundamental factors. We further find that intrinsic bubbles have an important role to play in determining actual house prices although price dynamics appear to impact, particularly in periods of strong deviation from fundamental value. Price dynamics are found to by driven by momentum behaviour.
