ABSTRACT

In this paper, we derive REITs price indices reliable in Korean REITs markets and examine stylized facts amongst GARCH-type models to find out risk premiums and volatility persistence in the U.S. and Korea. The main research findings of this paper are as follows. First, there was risk premium in the U.S. equity REITs before the financial crises but not in Korean REITs. Second, the GARCH effect lasted longer after the financial crisis in the U.S. and Korea. Third, leverage effect was seen after the financial crisis in some EWI models in the Korean REITs while it was regularly seen in the U.S. REITs. Finally, in calculating REITs price indices, the EWI model led to a result more similar to the U.S. market than the MCI model and the distributions of return on REITs in the U.S. and Korea were fat-tailed compared to a normal distribution.
