In the following example, the effects of a longterm rise in interest rates on the SI Investment PR and SI Private PR are analyzed. The simulation is run up to the last quarter s end using historical data, then the interest rates are continuously increased. From this point on, the output time series (SI Investment PR and SI Private PR) are generated by the model. The chart shows the outcome of the simulation for both target indices and also the yield of the Swiss Bond Index as the input variable. For both indices, a long-term increase of interest rates leads to a clearly observable and significant decrease.

The reason is that the majority of agents/market participants is already invested in real estate, and their potential to add further assets to their investment portfolio is limited due to a budget constraint. If however negative market impulses prevail, a significant negative correction is to be expected according to the simulation. Therefore, according to the model, a further long-term rise in the Swiss real estate market is to be expected only in a regime of prolonged, strong, and positive market forces. Simulation environment A simulation environment should allow to make scenario analysis and experiments which are impossible in reality because the parameters of the environment cannot be controlled. The simulation environment and the reality should have the same properties. At the same time, the simulation environment ought to be as simple as possible.
