The Behavioral Mechanism and Forecasting of Beijing Housing Prices from a Multiscale Perspective by Yan Li, Zhaoyang Xiang, Tao Xiong

“…Thus, exploring the behavioral mechanism and accurate forecasts of house prices is a critical element in making decisions under uncertain conditions and is of great practical significance for both participants and policymakers in real estate. According to the complex features of house price, including nonlinear, nonstationary, and multiscale, and considering the remarkable time and frequency discrimination capability of multiscale analysis in dealing with house price problems, we develop an ensemble empirical mode decomposition- (EEMD-) based multiscale analysis paradigm to investigate the behavioral mechanism and then obtain accurate forecasts of house prices. …”
