Abstract

This paper develops a change-point vector autoregressive (VAR) model and then analyzes the regime-specific impact of demand, supply, monetary policy, and spread yield shocks, identified using sign-restrictions, on real estate investment trusts (REITs) returns. The model first isolates four major macroeconomic regimes in the US since the 1970s, and discloses important changes to the statistical properties of REITs returns and its responses to the identified shocks. A variance decomposition analysis revealed aggregate supply shocks to have dominated in the early part of the sample period, and monetary policy spread shocks at the end.
