The investigation of the dynamic linkages between real estate market and stock market in Greece

We use quarterly data from Greece over the period 1997:1–2015:2 and investigate the dynamic linkages between the price of the real estate market and the price of the stock market focusing on two transmission mechanisms, namely the wealth and credit-price effects.

Results reveal asymmetric adjustment to equilibrium process and considerably stronger for positive deviations from the equilibrium
