U RENT nace de la necesidad de satisfacer la demanda de alquileres de viviendas para jóvenes universitarios, los cuales se ven afectados por el tráfico, la distancia entre su lugar de residencia o trabajo y la universidad.
Es debido a eso, que con la creación de U RENT buscamos atender a nuestro público objetivo, los estudiantes universitarios, quienes se caracterizan por ser la generación más adaptada y de alguna forma más dependiente del uso de herramientas tecnológicas para su comunicación.
Para poder desarrollar el trabajo se realizaron diferentes métodos de investigación, resaltando dentro de ellos las entrevistas a los estudiantes y anfitriones, la utilización de un experiment-board que validó nuestra teoría inicial y la creación de una landing page que tuvo como resultado 22% de conversión.
Por otro lado, la investigación nos dio a conocer también el interés de los anfitriones, propietarios de viviendas aledañas a las universidades del estudio, por brindar el servicio de alquiler de habitaciones u espacios a jóvenes universitarios, generando de esta manera un ingreso extra, sin tener que esforzarse por buscar a clientes que cumplan con los requisitos básicos buscados por ellos.

Un « mode de coordination » est un concept qui définit l’interaction entre les rapports sociaux et l’économie. Celle-ci, qui ne peut pas être séparée du politique, se développe grâce au fonctionnement des différentes formes institutionnelles. Plusieurs modes de coordination ont été identifiés par la littérature, à savoir, le « mode de coordination par le marché », le « mode de coordination éthique » et le « mode de coordination bureaucratique ». Vahabi (2010) a introduit un nouveau type de coordination qu’il a nommé : « mode de coordination destructive ». Celui-ci privilège la violence et les moyens coercitifs dans les relations sociales et assure une allocation appropriative des ressources. Vahabi présente la République iranienne comme un exemple-type du « mode de coordination destructive » étant donné son capitalisme rentier et la corruption de son système politique dans la gestion des ressources.

Full textAbstract:
The Swedish office markets has been emerging the last decade towards a higher rental level equilibrium. The aim of this study is to investigate the fundamental drivers of office rents and modelling of office rent forecasts in five Swedish office submarkets; Stockholm (2), Gothenburg (2) and Malmö (1). The methodology is a combination of economic theory and econometric analysis. The product is an econometric model. By using the estimated drivers, office rent forecasts are modelled and computed based on a vector autoregression-model. Our results show that office stock and vacancy, in lagged fashion, are statistically superior in explaining office rent development. OMX30 was evident to be the largest macro-driver in explaining office rent. The generated forecasts were significant and valid in the CBD-submarkets. However, the forecasts for the Rest of Inner City (RIC)-submarkets were not as precise. The results also show that the forecasts move more linearly compared to the actual office rent data that move more "step-wise".

TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE MAGÍSTER EN ADMINISTRACIÓNSe imaginan estar enfrentados al siguiente escenario: elementos de un rubro de clara tendencia al alza según cifras aduaneras en Chile que a su vez son claves para la entretención y el desarrollo de los niñ@s, que adicionalmente representan un flujo constante de salida de dinero del hogar, con una utilidad percibida por los más pequeños como muy corta, que originan acumulación no solo de polvo sino que quitan el poco espacio disponible en el hogar y muchas veces son causantes de desorden, son LOS JUGUETES! Rent & Play es un sitio de comercio electrónico enfocado al arriendo de juguetes por el tiempo que el cliente desee y sin membresías ni multas de ninguna especie. El modelo de negocio de Rent & Play se desarrollará en dos etapas. La primera requerirá mínima inversión, iniciando con una plataforma web básica (e-commerce) a través de la cual se esperará adquirir el conocimiento del negocio así como tener un pulso de primera fuente de los gustos y tendencias del mercado objetivo. La segunda etapa comenzará en un máximo de dos años y se enfocará en mejorar y añadir características deseadas por los potenciales clientes. El análisis VRIO (Anexo 1) realizado para Rent & Play da cuenta de características que son valoradas por los potenciales clientes y que estarán presentes en el modelo de negocio. La ventaja competitiva entonces será la de diferenciación del servicio que se otorgará ya que, no será únicamente el arriendo de juguetes sino que, la responsabilidad social será clave al momento de la contratación de “adultos mayores” como colaboradores principales de la empresa. Adicionalmente, la donación de los juguetes luego de un número determinado de arriendos se espera logre un posicionamiento como marca “RESPONSABLE”. Como parte de las estrategias para conseguir diferenciarse de sus presentes y futuros competidores, el discurso de Rent & Play buscará ser congruente con el de las tres erres ecológicas: REDUCIR, REUSAR Y RECICLAR. Las cifras proyectadas reflejan un VAN de 31.552.962 y una TIR del 115% en el flujo de cierre al 5to. Año. Por su parte el capital de trabajo más inversiones necesarias para iniciar operaciones llegan a los 20 millones de pesos.

Full textAbstract:
This article studies the evolution of housing rents in St. Petersburg between 1880 and 1917 covering an eventful
period of Russian and world history. We collect and digitize over 5,000 rental advertisements from historic newspapers, which we use together with geo-coded addresses and detailed structural characteristics to construct a quality-adjusted rent price index in continuous time. We provide the first pre-war and pre-Soviet index based on market data for any Russian housing market. In 1915, one of the world's earliest rent control and tenant protection policies was introduced as a response to soaring prices following the outbreak of World War I. We analyze the impact of this policy: while before the regulation rents were increasing at a similar rapid pace as other consumer prices, the policy reversed this trend. We find evidence for official compliance with the policy, document a rise in tenure duration and strongly increased rent affordability among workers after the introduction of the policy. We conclude that the immediate prelude to the October Revolution was indeed characterized by economic turmoil, but rent affordability and rising rents were no longer the prevailing problems.Series: Department of Economics Working Paper Series

Måradson, Elina. "Presumption Rent-System : A Sustainable Rent-Setting System or a "Necessary Pain"?" Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Företagsekonomiska institutionen, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-298342.
Full textAbstract:
State of Objectives: This paper addresses the question of how the presumption-rent system has developed during ten years of its introduction to the rental market, with a particular emphasis on the investors’ perspective. The study has three focus areas, firstly an emphasis on how the real estate investors within the private and public sectors reacted to the introduction of the presumption-rents. Secondly, it examines whether the trends have changed during the course of these ten years. Finally, it observes how the presumption-rent system, as a rent-setting method for new residential rental constructions, is perceived and evaluated by the investors. Methodology: The empirical study focuses on the rent market in Stockholm, and it is articulated through a holistic multiple case-study of six public-and private real estate companies with rental dwellings in Stockholm. In order to examine the developments of the presumption-rent structures in these companies, a numerical analysis of the rent structures through a quasi-experimental design is as well conducted. Empirical Findings: The results in general prove that the rent-setting within the presumption rent system is unpredictable and subjective, because it is influenced by conflicting interests and different perceptions. The implication of this for the application of the presumption-rents is that it is depended on a complex, ambiguous and vague negotiation structure, rather than being based on a systematized rent-setting procedure. Furthermore, it is noted that the collective bargaining system, which sets the standards for the rent negotiations, is undergoing a slow process of change, as the law amendment in 2011 has caused paradigm-shits within the rental market. One dimension of this is that the rent-negotiations noticeably do not influence the investment decisions anymore, but the rent negotiations certainly have an impact on the rent-setting method. The implication for the application of the presumption-rentsystem, including its negotiation framework, is that it is applied when it meets the criteria for the investment decision, otherwise it is ignored. Finally, it is showed that nor the public neither the private companies perceive the presumption-system as a long-term and sustainable solution to the prevailing challenges with the Swedish rent-setting system. What is clear is that the system is mainly considered as a temporality solution to a course of disorders that have emerged from prolonged institutional negligence and error that have impaired the rental markets.

Dye, Angel. "JOOK: RENT PARTY POEMS." UKnowledge, 2019. https://uknowledge.uky.edu/english_etds/93.
Full textAbstract:
Jook is a spirited collection of historical persona poems situated in the vibrant rent party scene of 1920s Harlem. The Harlem Renaissance of New York was a decade of black innovation, artistry, and cultural expansion spanning 1920-1930. During this post-Emancipation, Great Migration era, black families leaving the South moved north only to encounter new forms of oppression. They were fleeing the lynchings, racism, and segregation that they experienced back home. In Harlem, black families earned disproportionately lower wages and paid much higher rents for subpar housing conditions compared to white families. To supplement their low incomes and to make the rent for the month, tenants hosted house-rent parties, also called social whist parties, in their apartments. They offered southern food, jazz and blues music (often live), and bootlegged liquor. Party guests paid a modest cover fee of 25 or 30 cents to enjoy the amusements, thus helping the hosts to pay their rent. The resistance work of this black joy in the face of economic, environmental, and social racism fascinates me and led me to research and uplift these narratives via persona poetry.
The central figure in these poems is a 20-year-old Georgia migrant named Mae Lynne King. Mae has moved north with her older sister Maddy. The daughters of a southern preacher and a seamstress, the women find their footing in New York in very different ways. Mae works as a domestic and takes in laundry and sewing on the side while 24-year-old Maddy Jane becomes a streetwalker. The two young women live together and quickly become immersed in the rent party phenomenon while working to build a life away from the strict religious upbringing they knew back home. Mae and Maddy struggle against racism, sexism, and poverty discovering their roles as lovers, friends, and members of a new black Harlem. Mae’s journey through Harlem is one of revelation and awakening, and Maddy’s is one of self-actualization, autonomy, reclamation. Both women embody the womanist attitudes and practices, blackness, and sexual fluidity that are central to my work overall and that were highly visible during the Renaissance.
While swaths of literature celebrate the art, music, and culture of the Harlem Renaissance, no contemporary collections of poetry contend with the oppression that African American people who migrated from the racially segregated South to Harlem faced. Jook is an offering of history, memory, language, and research to bridge that gap. This collection draws from Langston Hughes’ poetry and autobiography The Big Sea, Zora Neale Hurston’s novels and dramas, all of Harlem’s “negro literati,” jazz and swing music, photography, and archival materials from The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and Yale University. Jook traverses free verse and formal boundaries while championing persona and a unique Harlemese vernacular in order to celebrate the fierce subversion that African Americans in 1920s Harlem engaged in via their rent party gatherings.
I enter these poems with music and memory at the fore of my creative process and craft employments. I call on forms such as Ruth Ellen Kocher’s Gigan, the jazz sonnet, contrapuntal, and the ghazal to illustrate the simultaneous artistry and travailing that defined the Renaissance for African American people. I also borrow from the narrative elements of fiction to explore a specific arc within the lives of a cadre of imagined personas. The aim of this project is to recover and celebrate the unexplored stories of rent parties and to acknowledge the suffering and striving that these gatherings were born out of.

RENT: A Director's Process describes the process a director undergoes in the creation of a piece of theater. It uses as its example Temple Theaters' 2010 production of RENT, and it examines how an MFA thesis production encapsulates the material garnered over three years' intensive study in a conservatory setting of the art and craft of directing. It explores the methodologies behind the pre-production process, including concept, approach, design, and casting, and continues into the production process, including rehearsal and performance. This thesis suggests a method of directing that is based on a formal approach, and shows this method to be as applicable to populist styles, such as musical theater, as it is to more experimental forms.

Rent is an extremely popular musical, recognizable across the globe. The iconic characters, images, and costumes from the original production have been copied and interpreted numerous times. I have chosen to reinterpret this script by examining the essence of each individual character. After researching magazines from the time period in which Rent was written and books containing information on AIDS and the East Village, all subject matter within Rent, I developed a design concept. Through a series of fourteen sketches I present my original concept for a very well known story. Production photographs and pre-production tables support my journey from concept to finished production.

The Istanbul metropolitan area is the largest office investment made in Turkey. According to the CBRE ERIX data, the total office stock in Istanbul by the end of 2018 exceeded 7 million sqm. There is approximately 1 million sqm of pipeline figures. The biggest problem for office projects which in the hold-on status and under construction status, Turkey's economy is rapidly affecting office rents and tenants of office the selection criteria. In particular, high financing costs and construction costs increase the importance of predicting the rent figures in office investments. This degree project aims at contributing to the understanding of the Istanbul rental office market underlying mechanisms. The office market data will be analyzed between Q1 2005-Q4 2018 period. Long-term equilibrium rents will be reached for the Istanbul office market and examined sub-markets. With the econometric analysis method, the long-term causality for rent with employment, stock and vacancy will be examined. Short-term estimates will be made with an error correction model.Istanbuls storstadsområde är den största kontorsinvesteringen i Turkiet. Enligt CBRE ERIX-data översteg det totala kontorslagret i Istanbul i slutet av 2018 7 miljoner kvm. Det finns cirka 1 miljon kvm rörledningsfigurer. Det största problemet för kontorsprojekt som i fasthållningsstatus och under byggnadsstatus, påverkar Turkiets ekonomi snabbt kontoruthyrningar och hyresgäster i urvalskriterierna. Höga finansieringskostnader och byggkostnader ökar i synnerhet vikten av att förutsäga hyrestalterna i kontorsinvesteringar. Detta examensarbete syftar till att bidra till förståelsen av de underliggande mekanismerna för hyreskontor i Istanbul. Kontorsmarknadsdata analyseras mellan F1 2005-F4 2018 perioden. Långsiktiga jämviktshyror kommer att nås för Istanbul-kontorsmarknaden och undersökta delmarknader. Med den ekonometriska analysmetoden kommer den långsiktiga orsaken till uthyrning med sysselsättning, lager och ledighet att undersökas. Kortfristiga uppskattningar kommer att göras med en felkorrigeringsmodell.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis discusses the development of a new model for investigating the relationship between transport and the location of activities. The research consists of three stages. In the first phase, the structural features of the relationship, which are the characteristics of locations, the decision-making processes of households, and the interaction between transport and land-use, are identified. Existing approaches are reviewed using these three components. The review shows that no existing framework satisfactorily represents the requirements in modelling the relationship. Secondly, a bid-rent network equilibrium model is developed. The modelling is considered in terms of competition for locations. Difficulties in analysing the unique characteristics of locations, namely heterogeneity and indivisibility, are discussed. A hedonic interpretation is incorporated to overcome the difficulties. The model represents the decision-making processes of households using the framework of an n-player non-cooperative game. The Nash equilibrium for this game is defined. The game is accompanied by the systematic interactions between transport and land-use. A mutual adjustment process addresses these interactions. A bi-level mathematical programme is suggested to embody the three components. The resulting formulation is interpreted as an oligopolistic Cournot game, which is an approximation of the n-player non- cooperative game. The functional relationship between the decision variables of the upper and lower levels in the bi-level model produces endogenously-determined transport impedance and locational attractiveness. The model incorporates a multiclass framework to consider interclass interactions, which establishes a multiclass bid-rent network equilibrium model. A heuristic algorithm is provided for the solution-finding technique of the bid-rent network equilibrium model. The algorithm combines a path-based routine for calculating the equilibrium solution to the lower level with the Newton-Raphson procedure for estimating the parameters of the hedonic-based stochastic bid-rent function in the upper level. The operation of the algorithm is examined using simple numerical examples. The final stage is an application of the bid-rent network equilibrium model to a real network. A medium sized city is chosen for the case study. The objective of the third stage is to demonstrate the ability of the model to investigate the relationship between transport and the location of activities. A base run and two policy runs are simulated. The base run means a simulation conducted using surveyed data. The policy runs represents the introduction of a congestion charge and the release of land for housing development. Class specific spatial behaviour is obtained. The behaviour is demonstrated using network performance indices representing transport impedance and locational attractiveness. Some policy implications of the simulation are presented.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis concerns the economic and political relationship between the English tenant farmer, his landowner, and his Member of Parliament during the period between 1830 and 1865. Profound social and economic changes took place in agriculture during this time, notably the enfranchisement of the tenant farmer (1832), the Repeal of the Corn Laws (1846), and the development of the railways from 1832 onwards. The tenant farmer was an important actor in all three changes, but his role has been overlooked. This thesis brings him into focus in three chapters, each dealing with the tenant-farmer within the rural economy. Chapter 1 introduces the research project, makes a clear statement of the goals of the research, and reviews some of the recent literature. Chapter 2 deals with the ways in which agricultural rents were set in the 1830s and estimates agricultural rents from two centuries ago, using observations for nearly six hundred parishes in the southwest of England. The finding is that rents were set closely with Ricardian Rent Theory. Chapter 3 measures the impact on agricultural rents of railway development. The railways were laid from 1832 onwards, and farmers used the railways to take their stock to market. This saved large amounts of money, primarily from reduced loss of condition compared to droving to market. The social savings were approximately 1.1 per cent of GDP, a considerable sum. The chapter shows that about one fifth of the wealth transfer resulted from cheaper transportation, while the other four-fifths resulted from productivity gains as farmers rearranged their output to take advantage of the railways. Chapter 4 measures the impact of the agricultural interest on the voting decisions of Member of Parliament during the Corn Laws crisis in 1846. This chapter shows that tenant farmers had a small but measureable influence on voting decisions.

Nava, Mario. "Optimal taxation, tax evasion and rent-seeking." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 1996. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1436/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is made of five different chapters. Chp 1: OPTIMAL FISCAL AND PUBLIC EXPENDITURE POLICY IN A TWO CLASS ECONOMY This paper deals with optimal taxation and provision of public goods in a two-class economy with non linear income and linear commodity taxes. As far as optimal taxation is concerned, we first show that with two private goods the good complementary with leisure should be taxed more heavily. Second the standard income tax rules are shown to be augmented by considerations for offsetting the distortions created on the commodity markets. As to the provision of public goods we extend recent results for a two class economy with public funds raised entirely by means of a non-linear income tax system. The standard Samuelson rule is modified by two additional terms related to the self selection constraint and to the revenue of indirect taxes. They are both shown to vanish when the agents' utility functions are weakly separable between public and private goods (taken together) and leisure. Chp 2: DIRECT AND INDIRECT TAX EVASION: A SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE The purpose of this selective survey of the literature on both income and commodity tax evasion is to show in which directions, the literature has evolved. Two main approaches are identified for both direct and indirect tax evasion literature. The so-called taxpayer's point of view approach which is basically an exercise of maximization under uncertainty and the so-called tax collector's point of view which is a refinement of the Mirrlees-Stiglitz approach to income taxation and of the Ramsey approach to commodity taxation. The current state of the art is such that both approaches share similar strengths and weaknesses. Chp 3: TAX STRUCTURE, TAX REFORM AND TAX EVASION In this paper we explore whether the shift from an ad valorem tax to a value added tax (which is a prerequisite to join the European Union) improves the "integrity" (number of people in the regular market) and the "efficiency" (total tax revenues) of the tax system. A model of two parallel (black and regular) markets is analyzed. The production in both the black and the regular market is divided in three stages: raw material, intermediate good and final good. Firstly, we prove that if an ad valorem tax is levied, at all stages of the regular market, any, even partial, tax reform towards VAT unequivocally increases integrity (the number of agents). Secondly, we prove that efficiency of the tax system is a direct function of its integrity. Therefore a tax reform from ad valorem to VAT seems justifiable under these two criteria. As a passing result, regular market consumers' welfare is shown to increase. Chp 4. A NOTE ON CORRUPTION, PRODUCTION AND SHORTAGE IN USSR AND RUSSIA Shleifer and Vishny, 1992 argue that privatization increases production and reduces shortage; Komai, 1979 argues that privatization reduces both production and shortage. The transition from USSR to Russia reduced both production and shortage. We argue that this is just the result of the shrinking of the loss-making sector (industrial sector) and the expansion of the profit-making sector (the service sector and namely trade and retailing). We also argue that the validity of Kornai's model is limited to those firms which are overproducing (i.e. more than the profit maximization quantity) and the validity of Shleifer and Vishny's model is limited to those firms which are underproducing. This reconciles two otherwise contradictory papers. Chp 5: LABOUR MARKET REALLOCATION AND RENT-SEEKING IN TRANSITION ECONOMY We present a simple two-sector model of the Russian labour market. Starting from a "full-employment" equilibrium with no search (the USSR), we analyze the path to the new equilibrium with unemployment and search (Russia). The links between the fraction of people searching, the wage differential and the hiring and firing probability of both sectors are investigated. A tentative way to compute these probabilities is proposed starting from recent (91-94) Russian data on unemployment and wages. It is shown that the wage differential across sectors rises with the strengthening of the entry barriers. It is argued that if no action is taken by the Authorities to fight unemployment and to reduce the wage differential across sectors (e.g. relaxing the entry barriers to the most productive sector), the market will react by developing, as an endogenous alternative to unemployment, a third sector which would act as a rent seeking one against the most productive sector. This will increase the outflow of workers from the least productive sector. Finally, it is shown that if the fraction of rent-seeking people attains a critical mass the above-mentioned policies may not be enough to rid the economy of the rent-seeking sector.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 140-141).
Ownership rates have been decreasing since 2004, and the rental market is becoming less affordable each day. A rent-to-own agreement would reduce barriers to purchase a property for future buyers. However, to promote this type of contract it is necessary to demonstrate that investors will be exposed to lower risk, or higher returns, than in a traditional lease. Since taxes are an important part of a real estate investment, this thesis analyzed if this risk can be mitigated by passing the taxes to the tenants. While rents and prices respond to market conditions, property taxes do not show a clear trend of how they change, leaving investors exposed to a high risk. In addition, property taxes significantly differ among states since they vary with the financial needs of each local government. Moreover, the effective tax rate can also differ from town to town, and even within the city because of the different tax districts in which the property is located and the No Ad Valorem taxes. The evolution of taxes, prices and rent in Massachusetts, and within the cities of Arlington, Newton and Wellesley is explored in this thesis to understand how property taxes evolve over the years and see if changes in rent and/or prices upset variations in taxes. In addition, this thesis also considers the evolution of these variables in Larimer County, Colorado, and in Oak Park, Illinois. Moreover, this thesis analyzed the potential return of a residential property in each of the cities studied to establish if there is any financial advantage for signing in a RTO agreement instead of a traditional lease, and if capping the taxes would reduce the financial risk. The data shows that in cities that saw a high appreciation or rental growth singing a rent-to-own contract was not the best alternative for investors since their return would have been lower. In addition, passing the taxes is not attractive enough to investors since the additional points that this procedure offers are not significant, and in some case, when taxes decrease, they actually decrease the investor's return.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis compiles three essays on corruption and informality in the developing world. The first chapter focuses on the industrial organisation effects of favouritism in public procurement in the context of Paraguay. It is the first empirical microeconomic study to illustrate the fact that rent-seeking is costly for development by showing how entrepreneurs' economic incentives are distorted toward unproductive activities as the result of favouritism in the allocation of public contracts in Paraguay. Our findings highlight the importance of tackling corruption by shedding light on some of the large dynamic 'hidden' costs of corruption over and above the static costs of bribery and embezzlement. We find that in Paraguay institutions with an important procurement activity are more likely to engage in corrupt dealings. As for firms, they have a greater probability of obtaining a contract directly through an exceptional procedure from an institution with which they have a strong contractual relation, both in terms of the total value and frequency of transactions, particularly when dealing with more corrupt State entities. Finally firms trading more with the public sector are found to be more profitable, even when controlling for their unobserved characteristics, reflecting the misallocation of talent towards this largely unproductive sector induced by favouritism. Large rents linked to the resale of imported goods to the State and the historical absence of an import-substitution strategy have contributed to make Paraguay one of the least industrialised economies in South America as, apart from the soybean and meat sectors, its entrepreneurs have systematically specialised in commercial intermediation, often with the public sector as sole client, rather than in production. The costs of this productive atrophy and biased specialisation are reflected in the poor record of economic growth. Several policy implications emerge from this chapter. First, whilst the existence of an exceptional purchase mechanism is clearly needed to deal with cases of emergency, it is also important that a mechanism of checks and balances ensure its use remains exceptional. Second, more transparency in the allocation of contracts can be achieved by putting together a registry of State providers, including the names of the firm owners and members of the administration board. Third, the move towards greater transparency also includes better data keeping and diffusion. Provided good quality data, an analysis like this one could assess the state of competition in public contracts more frequently, which could also help to target monitoring efforts. These proposals were put to the Paraguayan government in a report which I wrote for Transparency International (Paraguay) and presented to the newly elected government in September 2008. The second chapter analyses the political economy of labour regulatory enforcement in Brazil. In the context of the empirical political economy literature in Brazil, the analysis reveals that, contrary to other areas of the public sector, the work of the labour inspectorate in Brazil is not subject to political manipulation. I test firstly for electoral cycles in the imposition of labour fines, secondly whether labour regulations are selectively enforced according to political motivations and finally, I assess whether 'pork barrel' strategies are used in order to sway voters. Electoral results are matched with a novel dataset of fines imposed on firms for labour infractions to test these considerations. First, the analysis finds that mayors' and the president's political interests are not significantly correlated with the distribution of fines, neither is the alignment of local politicians with governors or the president. Second, the appointment of a new governor is found to be a highly disruptive event for the inspectorate, as evidenced by the steep rise in the number of fines issues in governors' second term. Third, towns where the governor received strong support in the last election have marginally fewer fines on average. This corroborates the evidence from the institutional analysis of the inspectorate, namely that a key channel for political influence on regulatory enforcement is through the regional inspectorate superintendents who are appointed by the state governors. However fourthly, in contrast with Ferraz (2007)'s findings in the context of environmental regulations in Brazil, the pattern of targeting does not vary significantly along the electoral cycle making it unlikely to be an electoral clientelism strategy. The important reforms in the organisation of the labour inspectorate in Brazil since the mid-1990s to guarantee more autonomy to the inspectors have probably had a positive effect in protecting them from the influence of powerful politicians. In this sense, the significant correlation between governors' political interests and the issuance of fines suggests that the appointment of the regional inspectorate director should also be kept independent of the political preferences of the governor. Nonetheless, the availability of other, more efficient and more effective means to sway voters in Brazil suggests that labour inspections are not so much at risk of clientelistic manipulation. In fact, fiscal transfers have received far more attention in the political economy literature precisely for this reason.Finally, the fourth chapter builds a voting model in a dual sector economy to explain the relation between taxation and informality in cross-country data. Voters in countries with high informality rates tend to vote for lower redistribution and taxation rates. This is explained in the model by the poor quality of institutions in such countries, which cause the relative premium from formalising to be low. The elasticity of formal production to taxation is therefore lower where institutional quality is poor: For a given increase in the tax rate, more individuals will hide in the shadow economy. As a consequence, the welfare maximising tax rate is found to be lower than in countries where there are more benefits from formalising. Moreover, comparative statics on the level of labour productivity show that improvements in institutional quality are more important in countries with a less productive labour force, as they lead to greater increases in redistribution and reductions in the informality share. The model integrates political mechanisms as well as economic features and in doing so shows the non-trivial interaction between informality and policy choice. More attention should be paid to this interaction when studying the determinants of informality, instead of taking policy choice as exogenous. Moreover, this chapter contributes a theoretical framework that is well adapted to studying political economy features of developing countries, where informality is a key characteristic of the economy. Several projects and ideas for further research have germinated from work on this thesis. One in particular focuses on the relationship between informality and corruption, which has drawn increasing amounts of research interest lately. One aspect that has however eluded the literature to date is the impact of informality on voting behaviour. In a democratic setting, I argue that widespread informality weakens the effectiveness of elections as a mechanism for selecting and disciplining politicians, essentially because informal voters receive an imperfect signal on politicians types. This research would contribute to explaining the persistence of corruption alongside widespread informality in much of the developing world.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the impact of rent control and rent decontrol on the rental sector. The city of Vancouver is used as an empirical case study to determine the accuracy of the assertions and predictions made by rent control opponents about the nature of the impact of British Columbia's rent control policy. The study begins with a review of the rent control literature in order to identify the theories presented by rent control opponents and supporters. The study then reviews the political debate over rent control and decontrol. A chronological summary of British Columbia's rent regulation system follows which illustrates the action taken by the politicians. Finally, the assertions and predictions made by rent control opponents about the impact of rent control are assessed by comparing them with the practical experience of Vancouver's rental market from 1974 to 1989.
Rent regulations were in effect in British Columbia from 1974 to 1984. This study focuses on three particular stages during the period rents were regulated: a) the introduction of rent control from 1974 to 1975 by the New Democratic government; b) the beginning of rent decontrol from 1977 to 1978 by the Social Credit government; and c) the elimination of rent control and rent review from 1983 to 1984, also by the Social Credit government.
Rent control opponents argue that rent control causes the following detrimental effects: a) decreases rental construction; b) reduces building maintenance; c) increases conversions from rental units to condominiums; d) increases demolition of rental
buildings; e) creates excessive demand for rental housing; and f) reduces the municipal tax base.
The most important finding is that there is no discernable relationship between the nature of the regulatory framework and the level of rental construction, rental conversions to condominiums, and demolition of rental stock.
The study concludes that it is much too simple to blame one government policy-rent control—for the problems of the urban rental sector. It is clear that the problems are deep-rooted and that a combination of many macro-economic factors such as high and unstable inflation and interest rates, and the general economic climate can have a greater impact than the regulatory framework on the rental sector. In addition, demographic factors such as provincial rates of migration can have a very significant impact on demand in the rental sector.
More empirical studies are needed to build on this study to better assess the impact of rent control on Vancouver and other cites in British Columbia. Research is also needed to assess the accuracy of the claims made by rent control supporters in order to determine whether they comprise valid criteria upon which to formulate rental policy.Applied Science, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Background
The Swedish economy is currently in a boom and due to the fact that the commercial rental market is closely correlated with the development in the Swedish economy and its economic indicators, commercial real estate companies are successful. Commercial real estate companies generate their main revenue out of rents from their tenants, therefore the set-ting of rent and the factors affecting the procedure are of great importance. The report will not only examine the commercial rental market but also the composition of the lease con-tracts, factors affecting the rent setting and risks associated with commercial leases.
Purpose
To analyze the commercial rental market comprising of several different lease contracts. The focus will be to analyze the setting of rents and the factors affecting the procedure.
Method
A deductive approach and a qualitative research method is used in order to get reliable and valid data to be able to fulfill our purpose. The data is collected from interviews done with three different real estate companies, situated in Stockholm and Gothenburg. The sample include Håkan Hellström representing Castellum, Lovisa Lindberg representing Landic Property and Roddy Carlsson representing Vasakronan.
Conclusion
As could be expected, the commercial rental market is closely correlated with supply and demand in the Swedish economy. Currently, demand is increasing due to a growing employment rate and a strong GDP growth. Market rents are increasing, since the demand is continuing to accelerate and vacancy rates are falling. The vacancy rates are currently below the natural level since rents are increasing in both Stockholm and Gothenburg. It is shown that the vacancy level is lower in Gothenburg compared to Stockholm.
Location is the most important factor affecting the setting of rents apart from supply and demand. Rent for office space is highest in the cities’ Central Business District. Additional factors are attributes that make the premises more attractive and client care that enables for satisfied tenants and long lasting tenant relationships.
Bakgrund
Den svenska ekonomin är idag i en högkonjunktur och på grund av att den kommersiella hyresmarkanden är starkt korrelerad med utvecklingen i den svenska ekonomin och dess ekonomiska indikatorer, är kommersiella fastighetsbolag framgångsrika. Kommersiella fastighetsbolags intäkter består till största del av hyror från deras hyresgäster. Därför är hyres-sättningen och dess påverkande faktorer av stor vikt. Rapporten kommer inte enbart undersöka den kommersiella hyresmarkanden, utan även komponenter i kommersiella hyreskontrakt, faktorer som påverkar hyressättning och risker associerade med kommersiella hyreskontrakt.
Syfte
Att analysera den kommersiella hyresmarknaden bestående av flera hyreskontrakt, med fokusering på hyressättning och dess påverkande faktorer.
Metod
För att kunna uppfylla vårt syfte och för att få så tillförlitlig och giltig information som möjligt används ett deduktivt synsätt och en kvalitativ forsknings metod. Informationen tillförskaffas genom intervjuer med tre fastighetsbolag, i Stockholm och Göteborg. Urvalet består av Håkan Hellström som representerar Castellum, Lovisa Lindberg som representerar Landic Property and Roddy Carlsson som representerar Vasakronan.
Slutsats
Den kommersiella hyresmarknaden är som väntat, starkt korrelerad med den svenska ekonomins utbud och efterfrågan. Efterfrågan ökar idag på grund av en ökad sysselsättningsgrad och en stark tillväxt av BNP. Marknadshyrorna stiger eftersom efterfrågan ökar och vakansgraden minskar. Vakanserna är i nuläget lägre än normalt eftersom hyresnivåerna ökar i både Stockholm och Göteborg. Det visade sig att vakansgraden är lägre i Göteborg jämfört med Stockholm.
Hyressättningens viktigaste faktor som påverkar hyresnivån förutom utbud och efterfrågan, är läge. Hyran för kontorslokaler är som högst i städernas Central Business District. Hyressättningen påverkas av ytterligare faktorer som gör kontorslokalen mer attraktiv och kundvård som möjliggör långa kund relationer med nöjda kunder.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2003.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 45-47).
This study has analyzed the rent adjustment mechanism for the multifamily rental housing in the US during the period 1993-2003 for twenty-four US metropolitan areas. The rent adjustment model employed incorporates the principal argument of search theory that vacancy ultimately determines rent levels. Various time lags on the vacancy rate are tested for each metropolitan area in order to better understand the timing of the effect of the vacancy rate on market rents and to find the best fitting model for each metropolitan area. Two kinds of rents are analyzed : the CPI (Consumer Price Index), 'sitting tenant rent' actually paid by the tenants, and MPF (Market Product Fact), the 'asking rent' for the vacant unit. The results of this study clearly indicate that the rent adjustment models under study explain the MPF rent adjustment mechanism better than the CPI rent adjustment model. Chaning the vacancy lag does not improve the CPI rent adjustment mechanism. The results of this study suggest further studies to explore the behaviors of lessors and lessees to explain why CPI rents behaves as they do. The findings identified through this research provide a helpful basis for advancing an improved theoretical and empirical formulation that highlights the complexities of the rent adjustment process. From a practical point of view, the results can help real estate investment analysts to better model and forecast rent changes in residential real estate market.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores, both theoretically and empirically, the political economy of rent-seeking in Turkey. Previously there have been few attempts to measure the extent of rent-seeking activities in Turkey, and they have often followed a rather narrow approach to handle such a large issue and have looked at only the normative side. In this study, our purpose is to apply a more comprehensive approach by including both normative and positive elements to examine the social and economic costs of rent-seeking, its main causes and its impact especially upon economic growth. In this way our contributions are to: i) look at rent-seeking descriptively and empirically from both normative and positive sides, ii) combine a state centred public choice approach to rent-seeking with recent time series econometric techniques, iii) offer a new approach, monism, for the analysis of the state-interest group relationship, and iv) test whether rent-seeking has an effect on economic growth in the long term. The thesis is divided into three sections. Normative rent-seeking is analysed in section I, positive rent-seeking is discussed in section II and the impact of rent-seeking on economic growth is considered in section III. Each section contains a literature review and an empirical investigation. In chapter 4, following a method suggested by Katz and Rosenberg, we analyse rent-seeking waste arising from government budgetary allocations and extend their cross section study for the same 20 countries from fifteen years to twenty five years. We found that Katz and Rosenberg's distinction between developed/developing countries still exists and rent-seeking in developing countries (like Turkey) is much greater than in developed countries. Then, in chapter 6, we look at the causes of rent-seeking by building a model that includes both demand for and supply of trade legislation for the period 1960-1990 in Turkey. We found that the reason for high rent-seeking in Turkey is hidden in the lobbying activities between legislators and business groups. In that equilibrium, whilst legislators are brokers to maximise their salaries and their budget size, business groups demand legislation to maximise their profit. Finally, in chapter 8, we investigate whether rent-seeking has a negative impact on economic growth. We found that, rent-seeking activities in Turkey reduced economic growth and lower income levels between 1960 and 1990.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med studien är att utreda hur modellen för Stockholmshyra är uppbyggd och jämföra den mot befintliga modeller med systematisk hyressättning på den svenska bostadsmarknaden. Studien ämnar även undersöka olika former av hyressättningsmodeller för att lyfta fram alternativ till dagens bruksvärdessystem. Metoderna som denna studie har använt sig av är semistrukturerade intervjuer tillsammans med en grundlig litteraturgenomgång och desktop undersökning. Bruksvärdessystemets huvudprincip är att likvärdiga lägenheter ska ha likvärdiga hyror. Det som bestämmer en lägenhets bruksvärde är faktorer så som boyta, våningsplan och planlösning. Även faktorer som tillgång till hiss, balkong och så vidare, kan påverka bruksvärdet. Hyresgästföreningens riksförbund har haft som målsättning sedan 2003 att alla föreningens regioner ska arbeta för att införa en systematisk hyressättningsmodell. Hyresgästföreningen menar att Stockholmshyra kommer att underlätta hyresförhandlingarna och minska antalet ärenden som det tvistas om i Hyresnämnden. Denna rapport ska undersöka hur Bolagen resonerar kring poängsättning av standarden på lägenheterna inom modellen Stockholmshyra. För att få en övergripande förståelse för betydelsen av olika inre underhållsmodeller följer en beskrivning av begreppen underhåll, investering och de olika typer av underhållsmodeller som finns på marknaden idag. Sveriges hyressättningsmodell är unik i jämförelse med de närmaste grannländerna. Sverige har ett hyressättningssystem som till största del grundas på bruksvärdet av lägenheten. Vissa bostäder omfattas av presumtionshyra och vissa omfattas av en egenförhandlad hyra som ligger utanför förhandlingsordningen. Stockholmshyra är ett verktyg för en annan form av hyressättning på Stockholmsmarknaden. Verktyget är en vidareutveckling av dagens bruksvärdessystem. Det är format som ett samarbetsprojekt mellan de allmännyttiga bolagen och Hyresgästföreningen. Verktyget är ett initiativ från hyresvärdarna tillsammans med hyresgästerna för att hyressättningen på Stockholmsmarknaden idag upplevs som svårförståelig. Hyresgästföreningens representant anser att man som hyresgäst bör kunna veta vad det är man betalar för och vilken leverans man kan förvänta sig. Stockholmshyra-modellen har inget undertecknat avtal än men ramverket och vad man önskar uppnå är likväl på plats. Målet med Stockholmshyra är att utjämna för skillnader i attraktivitet mellan olika lägen och att det ska återspeglas i hyran.The aim of the study is to investigate how the model Stockholm rent is built and compare it to existing models with systematic rent on the Swedish housing market. The study also aims to investigate different rent models to highlight alternatives to today’s utility value system. The methods this study used were semi-structured interviews together with a thorough literature review and a desktop research. The main principle of the utility value system is that equal apartments shall have equal rent. What determines an apartment’s utility value are factors such as living space, floor and floor plan. Also factors such as access to elevator, balcony and so on, can affect the utility value. The tenant organization has had the goal that all of the organizations regions should work to implement a systematic rent model since 2003. The tenant organization is of the meaning that Stockholm rent will ease the rent negotiations and reduce the number of errands that are in a dispute at the rent tribunal. This report will investigate how the companies reason about the scoring of the standard on the apartments within the model Stockholm rent. To get an overall understanding of the meaning of different maintenance models a description of the terms maintenance, investment and the different types of maintenance models that are available on the market today follows. Sweden’s rent model is unique in comparison to the closest neighboring countries. Sweden has a rent model that to the largest extent is based on the utility value of the apartment. Some apartments are covered by presumption rent and some have a self-negotiated rent that lays outside of the negotiating procedure. Stockholm rent is a tool for a different form of rent setting on the Stockholm market. The tool is a development of today’s utility value system. It is formed as a collaboration project between the non-profit companies and the tenant organization. The tool is an initiative from the property owners together with the tenants because the rent on the Stockholm market today is considered difficult to understand. The representative from the tenant organization is of the opinion that a tenant should be able to know what they pay for and what they can expect to be delivered. There is no signed deal within the Stockholm model yet but the framework and what is desirable to achieve is in place. The goal with Stockholm rent is to equalize for differentials in attractiveness between different locations and that it should be reflected in the rent.

Full textAbstract:
2 000 caracteres maximum espaces compris. En cas de depassement la coupure sera automatique cette etude par un va-et-vient entre poemes et ecrits theoriques veut montrer l'importance de l'inspiration du catharisme dans l'oeuvre de rene nelli en reconstituant son parcours poetique et en relevant les themes dualistes qui affleurent a la surface des poemes puis s'y affirment. Nous avons distingue pour cela deux epoques indissociables qui se repondent. La premiere ou l'experience poetique de rene nelli est une experience existentielle qui se donne comme centre l'amour. Reactivant la parole des troubadours, il nous livre, par l'intermediaire de sa poesie accompagnee d'un discours theorique, une metaphysique de l'amour, une "eroto-ontologie" ou l'idee de femme reprend ici toute sa force, celle-ci permettant a l'homme de retrouver l'etre supreme. En effet, selon la conception nellienne de l'etre qui rappelle la philosophie neo-platonicienne ou le multiple procede de l'un, l'ame est une parcelle divine determinee a ce retour. Inherente a cette meditation sur l'etre, la problematique du mal apparaitra clairement liee a un contexte dualiste dans une seconde epoque ou nelli approfondit sa reflexion sur le catharisme qu'il appartient a sa poesie de reveler. L'amour est toujours ici celebre et exalte par le poete dualiste dans sa faculte de sauver l'homme du monde du melange, une des notions essentielles au dualisme dont rene nelli reconnait la realite, l'amour etant alors plus que toute autre chose cet elan de generosite et d'ouverture qui ramene a dieu, au dieu du bien, le tout-autre, etranger au dieu judeo-chretien tout puissant dans le bien et dans le mal.

Coleman, Jonathan. "Rent: Same-Sex Prostitution in Modern Britain, 1885-1957." UKnowledge, 2014. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/history_etds/15.
Full textAbstract:
Rent: Same-Sex Prostitution in Modern Britain, 1885-1957 chronicles the concept of “rent boys” and the men who purchased their services. This dissertation demonstrates how queer identity in Britain, until contemporary times, was largely regulated by class, in which middle-and-upper-class queer men often perceived of working-class bodies as fetishized consumer goods. The “rent boy” was an upper-class queer fantasy, and working-class men sometimes used this fantasy for their own agenda while others intentionally dismantled the “rent boy” trope, refusing to submit to upper-class expectations. This work also explains how the “rent boy” fantasy was eventually relegated to the periphery of queer life during the mid-century movement for decriminalization. The movement was controlled by queer elites who ostracized economic-based and public forms of sex and emphasized the bourgeois sexual mores of their heterosexual counterparts. Sex between adult men in private was decriminalized, but working-class men selling sex suffered harsher laws and more strictly enforced penalties under this new, ostensibly “progressive” legislation.
