Fringe benefits of various kinds have become an essential element of modern labour market mechanisms. Firms offer transport-related fringe benefits such as transport subsidies (company cars, travel and parking subsidies) and relocation subsidies to job applicants. The spatial implications of...

We propose a test of the Porter hypothesis for the Dutch horticulture sector, using a stochastic production frontier analysis allowing for an inclusion of policy variables to account for the effect of environmental policy of firm performance. We find considerable heterogeneity in the way firms...

This paper considers commercial real estate markets relative to credit cycles of expansion and contraction. In this paper we integrate insights from the credit literature with insights from the long-standing literature on rental price adjustments in the space market. Do rental prices determine...

This paper considers the dynamics in real estate development over time. We extend earlier literature by considering the relationship between the various markets of housing, retail, offices and industrial real estate. Does residential real estate development complement or substitute for...

Global cities at the very top share the highest level of well-being in economic, social and cultural perspective. Connectivity thereby seems to pay off in both booms and busts, as commercial real estate market reports indicate. We analyse returns across global markets relating market dynamics to...

Understanding of one of the major building blocks of real estate development is at least partial. How do firms in the construction sector perform? Does the relative performance change over the business cycle? Do differences in performance relate to observable characteristics? Understanding the...

We propose a test of the Porter hypothesis for the Dutch horticulture sector, using a stochastic production frontier analysis allowing for an inclusion of policy variables to account for the effect of environmental policy of firm performance. We find considerable heterogeneity in the way firms...

This paper studies the interaction between job mobility and housing mobility by considering the duration of commutes. Conventional models assume that the employment location has priority over the residential location and that the latter is adapted to the former. This implies that the duration of...

The authors aim to extend previous literature on variations in returns across local office markets by examining the linkage of office market dynamics (viz. dynamics in stock, vacancy and direct and indirect returns) at the European Metropolitan level to the institutional structure of local...
