Abstract

The debate over the impact of money laundering on real estate prices has become a pressing issue in recent years, particularly in developed economies. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and house prices in a sample of OECD countries over the period 2012–2023. Using panel fixed effects, two-stage least squares (2SLS), and the GMM regressions, while controlling for key macroeconomic determinants of house prices, the findings show that house prices are lower when AML regulations are stronger.
