RE: Summer Institute 2004 Call for Papers
As part of the NBER Summer Institute, the Public Economics program will be
holding a Public Policy and Real Estate Markets workshop on Monday, August
2, and Tuesday, August 3 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. We plan to assemble
a set of empirical and theoretical papers on diverse topics relating to
real estate economics and state and local public finance. We encourage
papers on a wide range of subjects, but will give special consideration to
state and local public finance work in addition to our usual topics
involving either residential or commercial real estate. Besides state and
local issues, potential real estate topics include, but are not limited to:
the effect of public policy, such as taxation or local regulation, on real
estate; urban growth and decline; spatial location and household sorting;
incentive issues in real estate markets; the elasticity of supply of land
or housing; the capitalization of education and other amenities into real
estate prices; real estate pricing, market efficiency, and cycles; analyses
of real estate capital markets; and real estate as a component of wealth,
saving, or an individual portfolio. If you have a paper that you would
like to present, please send it (preferred) or an abstract to the following
address by MARCH 31, 2004:
