Green Building Contracts: Considering The Roles Of Consequential Damages & Limitation Of Liability Provisions, 2010 Regis University
Green Building Contracts: Considering The Roles Of Consequential Damages & Limitation Of Liability Provisions, Darren Prum, Stephen Del Percio
Darren A. Prum
The green building market continues to grow, but so do the corresponding legal risks which are only now being explored by scholars and practitioners. Lurking in the shadows behind any green building risk management strategy is how consequential damages - damages which may flow from a party's breach of a design, construction, or consulting contract - should be allocated among project stakeholders. This allocation is particularly critical on green building projects, whose unique and novel nature can create an increased potential for consequential damages. For example, green building tax credits, premium rents, and even energy savings might fall within the …

Principal-Agent Conflict And Seller's Strategy Approaching Listing Contract Expiration, 2010 Longwood University
Principal-Agent Conflict And Seller's Strategy Approaching Listing Contract Expiration, Zhenyu Zhang
Theses & Honors Papers
Real estate markets are excellent venues in which to study principal-agent incentive misalignments. Buyers and sellers who face relatively higher information costs rely on agents to reduce information costs and to assist their negotiation. Previous literature has focused on a typical dilemma real estate gents face - sales price versus time on market (TOM). This paper analyzes sellers' behavior when an exclusive listing contract nears unsuccessful expiration.
The Underlying Factors Of Regional U.S. Hotel Market Resiliency Post 9/11, 2010 Claremont McKenna College
The Underlying Factors Of Regional U.S. Hotel Market Resiliency Post 9/11, Beaumont L. Heidrich
CMC Senior Theses
I was interested in researching the underlying factors that drove resiliency in regional U.S. hotel markets. I did this by conducting an empirical analysis of twenty nine different markets post September 11 and investigating general, leisure and business variables. I concluded that leisure variables were the underlying drivers of resiliency in regional U.S. hotel markets.
I then conducted an event study to try to apply my findings to stock market prices of publicly traded hotel companies. Although it was a challenge to differentiate between companies that depended more on leisure versus business customers due to their asset diversification, I categorized …

Solving The Problem Of Toxic Property And Construction Loans- The Case Of Ireland's National Asset Management Agency., Thomas Power
Conference papers
Ireland experienced rapid economic growth between 1994 and 2004. This economic performance prompted the Economist magazine to coin the phrase ‘The Celtic Tiger’ to describe the Irish experience. However, during the ‘boom period’ banks did not have enough funds from deposits and had to rely on the inter-bank market for funds. Consequently with the collapse of the sub-prime market and the global banking crisis, the banking systems reliance on inter-bank lending resulted in toxic property and construction loans. In essence the property/construction bubble burst, the banks are broke and there is a need to rescue them. The government’s solution …
Changing Patterns Xvi: Mortgage Lending To Traditionally Underseved Borrowers & Neighborhoods In Boston, Greater Boston And Massachusetts, 2008, 2010 University of Massachusetts Boston
Changing Patterns Xvi: Mortgage Lending To Traditionally Underseved Borrowers & Neighborhoods In Boston, Greater Boston And Massachusetts, 2008, Jim Campen
Gastón Institute Publications
This is the sixteenth in the annual series of Changing Patterns reports prepared for the Massachusetts Community & Banking Council (MCBC) by the present author. The series is aptly named: mortgage lending since 1990 has indeed been characterized by “changing patterns.” In recent years, the major focus of the series shifted from concern for fair access to credit for traditionally underserved borrowers and neighborhoods to concern for access to fair credit for these same borrowers and neighborhoods. This reflects the extent to which the problem of redlining had become overshadowed by the problem of reverse redlining, whereby areas that …
Forecasting The Inland Empire's Economic Recovery, 2010 Claremont McKenna College
Forecasting The Inland Empire's Economic Recovery, Jesse C. Franklin
CMC Senior Theses
The Inland Empire -Riverside and San Bernardino Counties - was one of the hardest hit areas in all of the United States during the Great Recession. Home prices have declined over 50%, significantly more than the 25% decline in the surrounding Los Angeles County, and housing starts have declined to over 90% from 2005. The Inland Empire has one of the highest unemployment rates in the US at 14.8%. This paper attempts to forecast the recovery for the Inland Empire. Employing univariate forecasts along with VAR(12) forecasts, focusing on housing starts and unemployment rates as the underlying variables, we find …
