This paper examines the behavior of ski resort property in a major New England market over the last 25 years. A constructed property price series reveals that nominal prices are quite volatile and only slightly higher today than in 1980. These fluctuations and trends are investigated with a time...

“CoWorking” represents a new way of providing office space to corporate workers. Rather than companies acquiring dedicated space for their workforce at one or a few sites under long term leases (or ownership), companies contract with a “service provider” to have their workers housed...

This empirical paper examines the question of whether movements in housing sales predict subsequent movement in house prices - or the converse. The former (positive) relationship is well hypothesized by several frictional search models of housing market transactions or quot;churnquot;. The...

MSA-level estimates of a housing supply schedule must offer a solution to the twin problems of simultaneity and stationarity that plague the time series data for local housing prices and stock. An Error Correction Model (ECM) is shown to provide a solution to stationarity, but not simultaneity....

This paper examines the causes of the run up in house prices between 1998 and 2006 and the subsequent fall. It is argued that two unique factors have been at work: a true quot;bubblequot; in 2nd homes, and a fundamental expansion and now contraction of mortgage credit availability. These...

This paper examines the strong positive correlation that exists between the volume of housing sales and housing prices. We first examine gross housing flows in the US and divide sales into two categories: transactions that involve a change or choice of tenure, as opposed to owner-to-owner churn....

This paper applies structural econometric methodology to estimating and forecasting the greater London office market. We assemble a time series covering the 1970-1995 period and estimate equations for net space absorption, movements in rents and new building orders. Together with two identities,...

This study analyzes the impact of contemporaneous loan stress on the termination of loans in the commercial mortgage-backed securities pool using a novel measure, based on changes in net operating incomes and property values at the MSA-property type-year level. Employing a semi-parametric...

This research unites the two major strands of work that exist to date in the literature on Housing Markets. The first is the notion of spatial equilibrium wherein consumers inhabiting different units are thought to be at a constant utility level. As a consequence prices "compensate" for...
