Real Estate Research
Working paper series
The Guthrie Center for Real Estate Research was created to encourage more academic research in real estate, a discipline that is complex and ever-changing. The dramatic real estate market cycles of the last decade have impacted the national and global economy more than ever. We have also seen innovation in technology and finance that have influenced development and capital markets related to real estate. We look forward to the Guthrie Center’s research becoming a valuable resource for the real estate industry.
