We evaluate the impact of foreclosure on house prices and are especially interested to evaluate heterogeneous impacts of foreclosure along the house size and income distributions across geographic regions. The study uses a novel and comprehensive dataset that encompasses detailed housing and...

The value of land is determined by the locations' attractiveness and the degree of regulation. When land regulations are binding, e.g. when a restriction on the maximum floor area ratio exists, the best use land price can be directly expressed as a function of the maximum floor area ratio and...

We present and contrast a one-agent versus a two-agent theoretical model for residential real estate brokerage consideration in China's housing market. We then perform a series of simulations using values present in the Chinese marketplace to identify which system should prevail in terms of...
