This study empirically examined the effects of systematic market and common risk factors in explaining the variations in excess returns of securitized and direct real estate using multi-factor asset pricing models (MAP). The homogeneity of risk premia associated with the economic risk factors was also tested to determine whether the two real estate markets were integrated. By constraining the r...
