RE: Summer Institute 2005 Call for Papers
As part of the NBER Summer Institute, the Public Economics program will be
holding a Real Estate Markets, Local Public Finance, and Public Policy
workshop on Tuesday, July 26, and Wednesday, July 27 in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. We plan to assemble a set of empirical and theoretical
papers on diverse topics relating to real estate finance and economics and
state and local public finance. We encourage papers on a wide range of
subjects, including state and local public finance, and topics involving
either residential or commercial real estate economics or finance. We
interpret real estate broadly, so along with 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, 2005:
cm310@columbia.edu (Please put "NBER submission" in the subject line.)
or
Professor Chris Mayer

Electronic submissions are strongly preferred and should be sent in Word,
WordPerfect, or PDF format.
