Variations In Dropout Rates Across Virginia, Joshua K. Bowser
Variations In Dropout Rates Across Virginia, Joshua K. Bowser
Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects
Using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis, this study attempts to capture variation in dropout rates across Virginia counties and cities. With the respective dropout rates as the dependent variable, seven independent variables are used accordingly in order to provide as much explanatory power as possible. At the 10 percent significance level, four of seven variables are statistically significant with an adjusted R2 of .374. Important policy implications can be derived from the model and its statistically significant variables. The model finds that the percentage of blacks in the population, university access, the unemployment rate and single female-headed households to …

Going Up: Real Estate Is On The Rise Again In Japan, Knowledge@Smu
Going Up: Real Estate Is On The Rise Again In Japan, Knowledge@Smu
Knowledge@SMU
Nothing symbolizes Japan's bubble economy, or its subsequent long slump, more than real estate. Now, after dropping by as much as 70%, real estate prices are ticking up, signaling a renewed Japanese economy. A major restructuring of the nation's financial system, along with an injection of foreign capital and the introduction of publicly traded real estate investment trusts, are driving the real estate revival, according to Wharton faculty and real estate analysts working in Tokyo.
Global Hotspots In The Real Estate Business, Knowledge@Smu
Global Hotspots In The Real Estate Business, Knowledge@Smu
Knowledge@SMU
Emerging real estate markets in India and China, along with recovering property industries in Germany and Japan, are among the top destinations for global real estate investors, according to panelists at the Samuel Zell and Robert Lurie Real Estate Center's fall meeting. During a session titled, "Global Hot Spots -- How to Think about Hot Foreign Markets," Wharton real estate professor Peter Linneman called on each panelist to describe the markets they find most intriguing.

Bienes Raíces En La Comuna De Pucón, Brendan Hayes
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
This investigation provides an in depth analysis of real estate development in the comuna of Pucón, Chile. The author begins by explaining the sentiment of real estate investment in Chile and continues by providing readers with a detailed background about the municipality of Pucón and its touristic economy. Next the author provides information about current property values in Pucon and what it is that drives the values of properties in the comuna most. By providing information about zoning law, tax law, Volcán Villarrica, infrastructure in the area, and the public’s perception of increased growth the author virtually targets all aspects …
"A Comparison Of International Residential Housing Risk Premia" (With Chris Julliard), Grace Wong Bucchianeri
"A Comparison Of International Residential Housing Risk Premia" (With Chris Julliard), Grace Wong Bucchianeri
Grace Wong Bucchianeri
This paper contributes to this debate on the substantial risk-adjusted returns to real estate by first constructing a panel of housing risk premia for 13 OECD countries over a long sample period (1966:Q3 to 2004:Q4), and then exploring the relationship of these risk premia to changes in the financial market depth, equity market activities, property tax system, urbanization, zoning regulations and political orientation of the government. By comparing the experiences of housing markets in various developed countries, this paper adds to our understanding of what constitutes the real estate risk premium.
Thermal Performance Of Low Approach Evaporative Cooling Systems In Buildings, Ben Costelloe, Donal Finn
Thermal Performance Of Low Approach Evaporative Cooling Systems In Buildings, Ben Costelloe, Donal Finn
Conference Papers
Meteorological enthalpy analysis of temperate and maritime climates above 45˚N suggests that the water-side evaporative cooling technique has considerable unrealised potential with contemporary "high temperature" building cooling systems - such as chilled ceilings. As low approach conditions are the key to exploiting the cooling potential of the ambient air, thermal performance at such conditions needs to be investigated. To address the research issues a test rig, based on an open cooling tower and plate heat exchanger and designed to maximise evaporative cooling potential, has been constructed at DIT. A combination of experimental measurement and analysis is used in the investigations. …
Housing Price Determinants In The Lynchburg, Virginia Area, Benjamin L. Ferguson
Housing Price Determinants In The Lynchburg, Virginia Area, Benjamin L. Ferguson
Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects
The effect of certain variables on the price of a house is a subject that has been very widely studied. This paper attempts to generate a pricing model for houses in the Lynchburg VA, area using the physical characteristics of a home and other locational variables. The model will attempt to create a representation of the housing price equation for the market in the area. The results of the equation will allow the ability to predict future housing prices in the market, given certain physical and locational values that are similar for the area. 3
An Analysis Of Usaf Aircraft Noise And Hedonic Property Values, Melissa R. Johnson
An Analysis Of Usaf Aircraft Noise And Hedonic Property Values, Melissa R. Johnson
Theses and Dissertations
The primary purpose of the research was to evaluate whether there was a significant difference in housing values of those affected by the noise of USAF aircraft. The secondary purpose was to evaluate whether there was a significant difference in housing values located near USAF bases with and without aircraft noise and to evaluate whether type of aircraft changed the results created by the aircraft noise. This research effort found that homes located within the 65 dB DNL contour of US Air Force installations showed a significant negative impact due to the presence of aircraft noise when studied with the …
The Rise In House Prices In China: Bubbles Or Fundamentals?, Jianying Hu, Liangjun Su, Sainan Jin, Wanjun Jiang
The Rise In House Prices In China: Bubbles Or Fundamentals?, Jianying Hu, Liangjun Su, Sainan Jin, Wanjun Jiang
Research Collection School Of Economics
The dramatic rise of house prices in many cities of China has brought huge attention from both the governmental and academic circles. There is a huge debate on whether the increasing house prices are driven by market fundamentals or just by speculation. Like Levin and Wright (1997a, 1997b), we decompose house prices in China into fundamental and non−fundamental components. We also consider potential nonlinear feedback from the historical growth rate of house prices on the current house prices and propose a semiparametric approach to estimate the speculative components in the model. We demonstrate that the non−fundamental part contributes a relatively …
Housing Organisations In Australia And The Netherlands: A Comparative Analysis, Connie Susilawati, Lynne Armitage
Housing Organisations In Australia And The Netherlands: A Comparative Analysis, Connie Susilawati, Lynne Armitage
Lynne Armitage
Dutch housing associations are private organisations with a public responsibility which are managed effectively to fulfil the social objectives of providing affordable rental housing. In the Australian system, community housing organisations are categorised as not-for-profit organisations and are mostly characterised by small organisations with very limited resources. This study aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the Australian and the Dutch housing association models. A series of interviews with representatives of community housing organisations in Brisbane, Australia, will be compared with the results of similar interviews with representatives of social housing associations in the Netherlands. In addition to differences …

Minimizing Market Duration: The Strategic Selection Of The Listing Brokerage Firm, David L. Ellis Jr.
Minimizing Market Duration: The Strategic Selection Of The Listing Brokerage Firm, David L. Ellis Jr.
Theses & Honors Papers
Approximately five million homes are sold each year with every seller having similar objectives; to minimize the duration of the marketing period while simultaneously maximizing sales price. Once the decision to sell has been made, individuals are faced with the dilemma of marketing and selling the property themselves or acquiring the services of a real estate professional to assist in the sale of their property. It is logical to speculate that homeowners wishing to acquire the services of a real estate broker or salesperson will desire to select a salesperson that can help achieve the optimization objective of minimizing time …
Global Macroeconomic Trends, Thomas Power
Global Macroeconomic Trends, Thomas Power
Articles
The business of real estate is but a subset of the wider investment markets and macroeconomic trends will significantly shape the way real estate investment decisions are made. The McKinsey Institute is a global economic consultancy firm providing cutting-edge research on a wide range of macroeconomic and business trends. This article reviews macroeconomic trends that they believe will transform the global economy. McKinsey research show that “over two-thirds of organic growth of western companies can be attributed to being in the right markets and geographies” and “companies that ride the tide succeed and those that swim against it usually struggle” …
