Abstract
We employ recently developed cross-sectionally robust panel data tests for unit roots and cointegration to find whether house prices reflect house-related earnings. We use U.S. data for Metropolitan Statistical Areas, with house price measured by the weighted-repeatedsales index, and cash flows either by market tenant rents or estimates of a fair market rent.
