Abstraction

In the analysis of the causing of belongings market and fiscal system, the concern is that the major factors amplify the fluctuation of the existent estate monetary value and the subsequent consequences in the broader economic system. The empirical analysis, in the instance of Thailand, compares the alterations in the ratio of the rent and the monetary value of the existent estate to bespeak the roars in the existent estate market taking to the overall clangs in the existent market.

Introduction
It has extensively been researched that the economic basicss affect the belongings market rhythm. Research in that line, the influence of the economic basicss, has been examined in the theoretical account based on the outlook of people ( Mankiw and Weil, 1989 ) and the historical information ( Quigley,1999 ) .
However, the opposite line, the deciding function of the belongings market to the economic basicss, particularly the fiscal system, has attracted less attending. In fact, due to the features of the belongings market, the assessment of the existent belongings is definitively hard, particularly in the emerging economic system.
In add-on, because of the inordinate focal point on the macroeconomic basicss, the step to alleviate the crisis may be improper and sometimes harmful to the recovery of the economic system. Therefore, from the opposite line in the comparative research, the policy carried out in the crisis should be the rapid ordinance of cutting out the bringing of the hazard from the existent estate market, which is to forestall the meltdown of imparting establishment mentioning to the banking system and the comparative fiscal 1s.
Section? explores the non-financial determiners of the belongings market with regard to the existent estate market in the emerging economic system, Thailand in peculiar.

Section? describes the overall procedure of the crisis which is the bringing concatenation of the recognition hazard from the existent estate to the loaning establishments. It besides examines the inducements of extended loaning by a most straightforward theoretical account. This portion is the foundation of the farther research in this paper.
Section? analyzes the pros and cons of the enacted ordinances from the position of this article, and convey frontward some suggestions taking at cut downing the hazardous loan from existent estate, wipe outing the pessimistic outlook of the depositors. Section? concludes the findings of this paper.
The non-financial determiners of the existent estate
With the premise of the short sighted behavior and the econometric expression, Mankiw and Weil forecasted the existent house monetary value decreasing by 47 per cent until 1987, which is thought as a successful theoretical trial. After that, It is widely discussed in academic community whether the anticipation of the monetary value in the existent estate market is sensible.
In fact, the economic basicss affect the monetary value of existent estate greatly by the clearance of the market, in the other words, the market equilibrium theory. In this theory accepted by the academic community, the belongings market can accomplish a equilibrium in which the stable monetary value is decided and this equilibrium reflects the balance between demand and supply. Another accent of the equilibrium theory lies in the significance of the belongings monetary value that equals the discounted present value of the future benefits from owing the existent estate. These basic economic rule can be applied to every country of the economic system, but the public presentation of the world ever shows the antonym to the academic 1. Even in the John Quigley ‘s work ( 1999:1-20 ) , he drew a decision that the economic basicss has small consequence in explicating the fluctuation of the existent estate monetary value rhythm.
Specially, the features of the existent estate market ever distorts the accommodation of the academic rule. The determiners of the existent estate are concluded by different research workers in their documents, specifically, the fixed supply and the optimistic investor by Carey ( 1990 ) , building slowdowns and imperfect information by Herring and Wachter ( 1999 ) , loans collateralized by existent estate by Kiyotaki and Moore ( 1995 ) and moral jeopardy by Krugman ( 1998 ) ; nevertheless the last 1 has been involved in the nature of behaviours in fiscal sector discussed in the following portion.
Charles Collyns and Abdelhak Senhadji ( 2002:1-20 ) , working for the IMF, examine the built-in characteristics of the existent estate. They blame the rhythm of the existent estate on the built-in 1s, imperfectness, supply rigidnesss and imperfect fiscal markets” .
Based on the Charles and Abdelhak ‘s work, the factors bring oning the monetary value rhythm can be divided into two parts, the internal 1s and the external 1s.
The examining of the internal features of the market could be started with the imperfect market, which includes two facets, hard to make an equilibrium and imperfect information bringing. The former facet chiefly consequences in the stiff supply and the fluctuation of building monetary value and the land monetary value affected largely by the transmutation of land Torahs and ordinances. In add-on, the revenue enhancement and the fees on the existent estate have a great consequence on the monetary value beyond the strictly academic research via the economic basicss. Harmonizing to the academic significance of the belongings monetary value, the monetary value of the existent estate must be formed by anticipation of the future economic benefit. It is difficult to foretell under the status of imperfect information about hereafter. Second, the responding of supply to the aggressively increasing demand of the house could be inelastic because of the nature of the procedure in finishing the production, the house. This factor incurs the building slowdown harmful to a reasonably self-corrected market. The last factor, the influence of the fiscal market, will be described in the following portion.
The external characteristic of the existent estate market contains assorted facets. These factors normally are considered to be the exogenic daze to the belongings market. The factors in the macroeconomic ambiance can be an exogenic daze, including the exchange rate, rising prices rate, the sum of export and the state of affairs of industry industry. Additionally, the outlook of the consumer normally is taken as a critical variable for make up one’s minding the monetary value rhythm. Based on the optimistic outlook of people, Richard Herring and Susan Wachter ( 1999:27-138 ) established a econometric expression and explained the overall procedure of the existent estate booming. The exclusion, which progressively emphasized by the faculty members, is merely a contemplation of the future economic system.
The fiscal determiners of the existent estate
Apart from the consequence of the fiscal sector engagement, non-financial determiners of the existent estate is more important to the economic crisis. By contrast with the straightness, the chief influence on the economic crisis of fiscal sector is the elaboration of the black hazard from the existent estate and exercising it to the existent economic system. That is the critical difference between the two sorts of influence.
The nexus between the two sectors is the collateralization which was established on the book value of the belongings when mortgaging the existent belongings for imparting money, which might be considered to be the critical cause for the inducement to offer up the existent belongings monetary value to divert from the cardinal monetary value.
This portion will pay a more particular accent on the function of the collateral, particularly the banking system. First, the exogenic daze, for illustration, the overly increasing export, the optimistic outlook, the robust industry state of affairs or even the sound international political place, will raise the monetary value of the plus, which may be reflected on the stock market. After that, stock monetary value will derive a leap by the goad of the investing portion. At the terminal of this phase see the overall stock market surging and over outlook.
The phenomena in the stock market may be formed by its self-fulfillment and would shortly infect the boundary line capital market. The endeavors of which stock monetary value additions aggressively more than the value at that clip thereof. Harmonizing to the Tobin ‘s Q Ratio ( a economic cardinal theory ) , when the emanation of the plus by the market is over its stock monetary value, the rational investor has plenty incentive to add the investing. For interest of upper limit of plus, plus director, considered to be a director of a existent estate endeavor, increases the investing by prosecuting its plus, i.e. , the existent estate. Based on the analysis above, it has created a mutual causing relationship between the existent belongings market and the capital market. In the capital market, in malice of the rigorous ordinance in the loaning behaviour, the myopic loaning establishments like the bank, would apportion the money to the bad endeavors against the supervising and the ordinance of control hazard.
The sum of the loan by the collateral depend on the market value of the mortgage which is the key to understand the behaviours of the loaning system and the existent belongings section. This fiscal regulation besides explains the behaviour in which the elites in the development counties conceal the cardinal value of the existent estate and command up it to derive more adoption.
The progressively upward tendency may fall in if there is a unexpected daze. The psychological anxiousnesss and panic spread fast among the information-imperfect people, in the interim, the establishment investor have withdrawn their money. After the bank tally, The terror driven by the prostration of the fiscal creates the meltdown of the existent economic system due to the reluctance to impart to the existent subdivision like industry industry. Subsequently, the exchange onslaught in the Asiatic crisis must be the last straw on the overall meltdown.
Charles Collyns and Abdelhak Senhadji have summarized the behaviours of the banking system, when run into the economic roar, in an academic manner. They claimed the three general behaviours, i.e. , “the moral jeopardy, inauspicious choice and asymmetric information” . Harmonizing to the Game theory, the moral jeopardy and the asymmetric information refer to the misdemeanor of the hazard control ordinance and the victim of the uncountable retail investors, severally. As for the inauspicious choice, it occurs in the adoption subdivision, in which the endeavors of the hapless recognition standing have more motive to borrow money due to the slack supervising when the economic system is dining. That is opposite to the recession period harmonizing to the recognition appraisal ranking.
Harmonizing to Charles Collyns and Abdelhak Senhadji, the meltdown of the overall economic system is described that after the book value runs up to the increasing divergence from the cardinal value of the plus, the sell side would be more powerful to set the overrate monetary value to the norm. Then the last straw fell.
Policy lessons
To maintain the pegging exchange rate, the governments spend a batch of money against the exchange dumping. The most acute argument on the response to the crisis by the governments is the fastening financial policy. Warwick Mckibbin and Will Martin ( 1998 ) believe that the enacted tightening financial policy is the lone manner to response to the daze due to miss of the foreign exchange modesty. They assert that it is more available and practical to use a more relaxed financial policy to bring around the economic system from the deep economic crisis.
In their plants, it has been examined by an alternate macroeconomic theoretical account in which a lasting revenue enhancement cut is carried out, about 2 % of the GDP. The consequence of the proper policy is sensible and sound to the rebuilding of the economic system. Therefore, the extended financial policy would be successful to reconstruct the hardiness with keeping the other macroeconomic parametric quantities. The consequence besides reflects that the exports can be affected by the enlargement in financial policy. Given the drawbacks mentioned, the suggestion on the policy may non be relentless because the four Asiatic Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelams are all high-depend-on-foreign-trade states. Additionally, the unrealistic suggestion is less practical and difficult to transport out against the exchange onslaught.
Mishkin F. ( 1999 ) found that the nail downing exchange system may be more unsafe in the emerging economic system. He believes ( Mishkin F.,1999 ) that the nail downing the value of the domestic currency to a less inflow state, to be honest, leave the domestic rising prices stable, but the safety of puting for the foreign investors and the hazard of exchange onslaught from other counties may incur the black economic crisis.
Based on the sentiment of Mishkin, the policy lesson in that Asiatic states should be changing the exchange system and implement the ordinance of the fiscal system. However, the hazards in the fiscal system are one less of import facet in the causes of the crisis. It must be underlined that the function of the finance system is the amplifier of the hazard and heighten the amplitude of the fluctuation in the overall economic system. The beginning of the hazard lies in the existent estate market.
The characteristics of the existent estate decide the policy of bar and remedy of the crisis instead than to do a general policy, pecuniary 1s or financial 1s. In the state of affairs of the existent estate the general policy could be more harmful to the overall economic system. The immediate action, which should be taken shortly after the crisis, is the bar step of hazard spread from the belongings sector to the fiscal sector or from fiscal sector to existent economic system and the existent economic system is the last straw.
Specifically, the step could be taken listed below: The stiff ordinance against the elite who do the concern of the existent estate under a non-transparent status. The elite, who in these Asiatic state pull strings the monetary value of the existent estate and take the advantage of the recognition purchase to put more in the other good sector. In this procedure, the normal hazard is delivered by the elites to the banking system so that the hazard in the banking system is roll uping to the flop. Keep the old monetary value in the existent estate market when the crisis occurred. In the 1997 Asiatic crisis, the immediate action reacting to the crisis is utilizing the exchange modesty to maintain the high exchange rate against the one million millions of the international bad capital. It is lifelessly harmful to a little state to take the limited money to be a competition to the huge international capital. The proper usage of the exchange modesty should be salvaging the prostration of the monetary value in the existent estate market. If the hazard concatenation had been cut, the barbarous meltdown in the fiscal sector and the existent economic system would non emerge.
Decision
In this paper, I have introduced the facets of the existent estate market, analyzed the causes of the fluctuation in the existent estate market, and used a theoretical account explicating the association between the existent estate monetary value rhythm and the development of the crisis. In the concluding portion of the organic structure, I made some unfavorable judgment on the suggestion of crisis policy.
The whole paper focuses on the cardinal function, existent estate market, and find that it is the critical cause of the Asiatic 1997 crisis by theoretical logical thinking. In decision, the existent estate is the beginning of the uncertainness and hazard in all of the sectors, for which we should take more accent on the monetary value fluctuation in the existent estate market and cut down the hazard concatenation instantly after the macroeconomic index or atmosphere alterations.
