导言
The real estate market and the economy are closely interconnected with each other. Examples of this relationship include secular stagnations followed by the creation and burst of real estate bubbles in Japan (in the 1990s) and the United States (in the late 2000s). Against this background, the Hitotsubashi-RIETI International Workshop focuses on the interaction between the real estate market and the macro economy and presents a variety of studies on this issue. The studies include (1) real estate markets in Japan and China, (2) interactions between asset price bubbles and the economy, (3) impact of aging on real estate, goods, and services prices, and (4) the role of real estate in the behavior of households and firms.
