This article deals with the problem of developing a reliable diagnostic tool that could help in reducing the unpredictability of house price cycles that cause undesirable reverberations in the economy. Such type of cycles is among the main drivers of price volatility and crises not only in the real estate sector itself but also for the financial system and the whole economy too. The purpose of this study is to introduce a step-by-step methodology for assessing the true deviations of house prices from their long-term equilibrium levels. Factors with a significant impact on house price dynamics are also determined. The result is a ready-to-use econometric model that detects possible formation of house price bubbles early enough, so that policymakers and regulators could take adequate actions against market overheating in due time.

In a context where digital transformation is a strategic challenge for the sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), business intelligence (BI) emerges as a key factor in improving decision-making and fostering competitive advantages. This study analyzed the relationship between the implementation of BI solutions and business growth in 525 SMEs located in Lima, Peru. A quantitative, applied, and experimental methodology was used with descriptive and inferential analysis (Spearman Rho and Wilcoxon tests). The results reveal a strong positive correlation (Rho = 0.775, p < 0.01) between BI adoption and SME growth. Limitations include the geographic concentration of the sample, which may affect generalizations to other areas of the country. Nevertheless, the findings contribute to the literature by offering empirical evidence of the real-world effects of BI tools in emerging business environments and suggest that digital capabilities should be promoted in micro and small enterprises. Future research is encouraged to expand the scope to other economic sectors and regions.
