The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the long-term relationship between the financial variables and the housing industry development activities by using indexes developed recently by Wang, Chang, and Lin (1995). The methodology combining the cointegrating concept and the error correction model is employed. For the 12-year complete period, the reference cycle index is found to have long-term relationships with three nominal interest rates in both bivariate and multivariate contexts. This finding is quite different from that reported by Lin (1995) where a less representative index was employed and no relationship was found. As far as causality concerns, both the bivariate and multivariate error correction models show existence of adjustments over cointegrating long-term trends; but, no direct causal impact running from the three interest rates to housing industry activities can be justified.
