title: The relationship between institutional investors and house prices: the case of Paris
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Paris is one of the most expensive cities to live in, with prices still rising. Investors may be part of the cause, as the growing presence of investors results in additional demand for housing. This study aims to investigate the relationship between institutional investments in residential real estate on house prices in the area. We use a unique approach of measuring investment activity within a radius of each house transaction and considering investment values rather than number of transactions. We find a positive correlation between house prices and residential investments in the close vicinity. Furthermore, we find heterogeneity across house types and significant differences between the four geographical departments of the Greater Paris region that are included in the analysis.
