Abstract

This study constructs a dynamic panel model to analyze the impact mechanism of interest rate changes on real estate investment returns. The empirical results show that: (1) For every 1 percentage point reduction in the loan prime rate (LPR), the weighted housing prices in first-tier cities and second-tier cities increase by 5.8% on average, and 3.2% in second-tier cities, showing significant differences in urban energy levels; (2) Interest rate transmission is mainly achieved through credit channels (impact coefficient β =-0.032, p<0.01) and expected channels (β =0.018, p<0.05), in which land scarcity will reduce the transmission efficiency; (3) The policy time lag has been shortened to 3 months, and the impact period of interest rate adjustment on housing prices after the LPR reform in 2022 has been shortened by 50% compared with before. This study reveals the differentiated response characteristics of different city levels to interest rate policies, provides a quantitative decision-making basis for the implementation of precise real estate regulation, and verifies the policy effectiveness of the reform of LPR formation mechanism.
