Abstract

Rising housing prices in China present a significant risk to financial and economic stability. Our study investigates this "gray rhino" risk by analyzing the financial shock transmission network, using a novel high-dimensional network approach applied to data from 45 real estate firms and 15 banks from 2011 to 2023. We discover that the network's connectedness is predominantly short-term and internal to each sector, with weaker inter-sectoral links. Key macroeconomic indicators, notably monetary policy uncertainty, and inflation, significantly drive this connectedness. Our results indicate that, despite concerns, China's real estate risk remains within manageable bounds, offering critical insights for market stakeholders.
