Christopher Oertel studies the impact of public policy measures on the German real estate market and confirms the assumptions, which imply that a city can influence its economic position in relation to nearby cities in the short run by making use of this tax instrument. His analyses begin with an examination of the German residential real estate market from a consumption good perspective. The findings indicate that the home-ownership allowance had a distorting effect by capitalizing into residential real estate prices, although at lower than expected rates.

Bjorn-Martin Kurzrock untersucht markt- und objektbezogene Ein ussfaktoren auf die Performance von Immobilien-Direktanlagen und Bestandteile der Immobilien-Performance. Grundlage ist die Investment Property Databank (IPD/MSCI) mit Total Returns, Netto-Cash-Flow-Renditen und Wertanderungsrenditen von 1.531 Buro-, Handels- und Wohnimmobilien. Da immobilienbezogene Daten schwer zuganglich sind, basieren viele wissenschaftliche Arbeiten auf aggregierten Performanceindices, Mietpreisen oder Leerstandsraten. Der Fokus liegt dann nicht auf Gebauden, sondern auf Markten und Nutzungsarten. Der Autor...

The author, therefore, analyses if sustainable buildings command a rent premium compared to comparable...
