Affordable Housing and Institutional Investors
I assess how institutional investors approach affordable housing. From an institutional investor’s point of view, while being a form of real estate, affordable housing is closely linked to public finance and should be viewed rather as social infrastructure, the provision of which has been enabled via public subsidies and grants. I have provided advisory related to evaluating housing policy in the UK. I also have expertise on public-private funding models working at the intersection of institutional investors and public sector financing.
Asset Pricing of Real Assets
A large portfolio of my research has used hedonic modelling and repeat sales modelling to assess how regulations, amenities and the role of investors themselves affect pricing of real estate.
I look at the role of institutional investors such as pension funds and private funds for in pricing real assets. My research has looked at performance drivers of private funds; I have used spatial econometrics to model spatial linkages of underlying corporate assets and assess their effects on pricing.
Topics for prospective PhD applicants
I am looking for motivated PhD applicants, who are interested in an academic career in the field of real estate finance. The students should have a background in finance or economics and good quantitative skills. Please only send applications if your research interests align with my research (see publication list).
