RE: Summer Institute 2009 - Call for Papers
As part of the NBER Summer Institute, the Public Economics program will be
holding an Economics of Real Estate and Local Public Finance workshop on
Tuesday, July 21, and Wednesday, July 22 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 debt and equity
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, 2009:
gyourko_at_wharton.upenn.edu
