Abstract:

Le cadre général de cette thèse est celui de la propriété d’indépendance en théorie des modèles. Les théories sans cette propriété sont appelées NIP ou dépendantes. L’objectif principal est de trouver de nouveaux exemples de théories appartenant à cette classe. Nous montrons d’abord un résultat isolé qui répond une question de Pillay : dans un groupe NIP possédant une partie infinie de classe de nilpotence finie, on y trouve un sous-groupe définissable de même classe de nilpotence et contenant cette partie infinie. Le reste de la thèse est motivé par deux cadres extrêmement proches : les groupes abéliens munis d’une chaîne de sous-groupes uniformément définissables, et les groupes abéliens valués. Dans le premier cas nous identifions une certaine théorie et nous étudions plusieurs extensions de cette théorie. Nous prouvons une élimination des quantificateurs dans chacune des ses extensions, grâce à laquelle la NIP en découle facilement. Le dernier résultat est le plus substantiel. Nous montrons qu’une théorie naturelle de chaîne colorée munie quasi-automorphismes n’a pas la propriété d’indépendance. Nous appliquons ensuite ce résultat à une certaine théorie de groupes valués, étudiée par Simonetta dans le contexte des groupes C-minimaux, pour en conclure qu’elle est NIP. Nous montrons aussi d’une façon assez directe (en utilisant des résultats de Rubin et Poizat) qu’une chaîne colorée munie d’automorphismes est NIP
This PhD thesis is in the general area of the independence property in model theory.Theories without this property are called NIP or dependent. The main objective of this thesis is to find new examples belonging to this class. Firstly, we prove an isolated result that answers a question stated by Pillay : if a NIP group contains an infinite set of finite nilpotency class, then there exists a definable subgroup of the same nilpotency class containing this set. The rest of this thesis is motivated by two extremely closed related contexts : abelian groups equipped with an uniformly definable chain of subgroups, and valued groups. In the first case we identify a theory and study several extensions of it. We prove quantifier elimination in each of these extensions, and use it to easily conclude that they are NIP. The last result is the most significant one. We prove that a natural theory of linear orderings equipped with quasi-automorphisms doesn’t have the independence property. Then we apply this result to a particular theory of valued abelian groups, which has been studied by Simonetta in the context of C-minimal groups, to conclude that it is NIP. We also prove in a rather straightforward way (using results by Rubin and Poizat) that a linear ordering equipped with automorphisms is NIP

Abstract:

This research explores several issues and problems associated with the perception of corporate property assets held by stock market investors. Our primary aim is to examine whether the market views property as an important corporate asset from the perspectives of valuation and strategy. For most non-property companies, property has been treated and managed merely as a factor of production with little judgement about how it is expensed or valued - often it is carried in the balance sheet for a fraction of its current market value. Further, its role in the corporate financial statements has not been understood. Given that property is a sizable asset in the balance sheets of some non-property companies, and that there are possibly two (distinct) markets at work - one for property and one for corporate equities, our concern is whether property is valued by the stock market on a different basis from its market value and whether the book value of property in company accounts differs sufficiently from either valuation to allow profitable intervention, through change in control, revaluation, acquisition and disposal or refinancing. From the strategy viewpoint, the existence of a strategy for the property market can help "property-intensive" companies arbitrage the difference between property asset value and share price. This is operationalised through various types of incremental property investment/divestiture which alter the property asset intensity of the companies. Our investigation is mainly concerned with detecting any significant abnormal return consequences in respect of revisions in property asset intensity through acquisitions, disposals and revaluations and their financial implications. 13 Our evidence appears to suggest that property asset intensity is an important factor in corporate financial management. In particular, it can significantly affect the corporate financial structure and risk-return perfonnance of "property-intensive" companies. Since its importance has not been fully reflected in current share price through property valuation, there are opportunities for retailers and other "property-intensive" companies to earn higher positive abnonnal returns and raise the stock market's valuation of their properties through incremental transactions in the property market. We further discover that the decisions of retailers to acquire/dispose of properties and their choice of valuation base for property can be partially influenced by the prevailing financial conditions of the companies. This further suggests that the intensity value of property has a role to play in corporate financial strategy. Finally, our strategic property valuation framework fonnalises the arbitrage relationship between property asset values and company share prices in the context of core business and explores profitable strategies for retailers to pursue in the property market. We do not pretend to answer all the questions raised. Within the sphere of Corporate real estate management, the methods and evidence reported in this research can be the basis for further study in the empirical literature related to the synthesis of property and fmancial asset" valuation and management in the UK corporate environment.

Wilhelmsson, Mats. "Traffic noise and property values." Doctoral thesis, KTH, Real Estate and Construction Management, 2000. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-2981.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis consists of five papers about traffic noise andproperty values. Their aim was to analyze the impact of trafficnoise on property values and to translate this effect into amonetary value. The method used was the hedonic technique inwhich the price of the property is assumed to be a function ofits attributes (e.g. living area and indoor quality). It ispossible to estimate implicit prices of all the attributes byregressing the property prices on housing and locationattributes. These implicit prices could then be used toestimate the price and income sensitivity of the differentattributes.

Essay 1, written together with my colleagues KickiBjörklund and Bo Söderberg, investigates thepurposes, data sources, presentations and methodologies ofpublished empirical works. Overall, these works exemplify goodscientific practice. Essay 2 is an analysis that estimates themarginal willingness-to-pay for a reduction in traffic noise.Noise is negatively capitalized into house values and theanalysis shows that a house relatively far away from a nearbyroad would sell for 15-20 percent more than a house near theroad. Essay 3 presents a methodology for estimating the priceand income elasticity of different housing attributes. Thisentails estimating a system of expenditure functions based onan additive preference function. The analysis indicates thathousing attributes are relatively insensitive to price andincome changes. Essay 4 discusses whether an investment innoise abatements was justified economically. By analyzing housesales that has occurred more than once, where some of thehouses were sold before and after the investment, it ispossible to estimate the effect of the traffic noise barrier.The conclusion, in this particular case, is that investment innoise barriers is highly justified. Essay 5 is my licentiatethesis that has already been presented.

Abstract:

I denna uppsats görs en fördjupning utbyggnaden av Stockholms tunnelbana till Nacka kommun. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka huruvida det uppstår förändringar i fastigheters värde i nära och direkt anslutning till ny- eller utbyggd tunnelbana. Teorikapitlet behandlar olika teorier som beskriver varför vissa typer av fastigheter och verksamheter uppstår på vissa ställen. Teorin tar sats ur von Thünens sätt att förklara markanvändning. Uppsatsen går igenom hur betalningsviljan för mark dels skiljer sig mellan olika verksamheter och dels hur den avtar med avståndet från Central Business District (CBD). Kontor och handel har relativt sett högre betalningsvilja för fastigheter nära CBD än bostäder och bostäder har högre betalningsvilja än industrier. Med ökad tillgänglighet tack vare tunnelbana så uppstår fler unika områden (lokala CBD:s) där kontor och handel har större vilja att etablera sig. Tack vare ökad tillgänglighet och därmed ökat marknadsvärde så kan vi enligt Tobin’s Q förvänta oss ökad exploatering. Vidare analyseras 15 akademiska artiklar på ämnet. De artiklar som legat till grund för att bedöma värdeförändringen har studerat rapid transit system och genomfört analyser på försäljningsdata. Den genomsnittliga ökningen visar på att värdena för fastigheter går upp med 9,6 %. Artiklarna ger också en relevant input om eventuella yttre negativa omständigheter (som dock inte överstiger nyttorna) som uppstår med tunnelbana, till exempel ökad kriminalitet. Deltagarna i enkätundersökningen förväntar sig att alla typer av fastigheter värdemässigt kommer påverkas positivt inom en radie av 1 kilometer. De anser att det till en viss grad finns en marknad för privat medfinansiering samt att medelklassområden är de områden med högst betalningsvilja för tunnelbana.
This thesis delves deeply into the expansion of the Stockholm subway to Nacka municipality. The purpose has been to investigate whether there is a change in the valuation of properties in close proximity to new or expanded subway. The theory chapter covers different theories on land use and bid rent curves. The theories are based on von Thünen’s way of describing land use. The thesis goes through how the willingness to pay for land on one hand differs between different property types and on another hand decreases with distance to Central Business District (CBD). Offices and retail have a relatively higher willingness to pay for land in the proximity of CBD than residential and residential have a higher willingness to pay than industrial. With increased availability thanks to subway come numerous unique areas (local CBD’s) where office and retail have a higher willingness to establish. The increased availability also heightens the Tobin’s Q, which means we can expect a higher degree of exploitation. 15 academic papers that cover the issue are analyzed. The articles which are the basis for the reasoning on value change have studied rapid transit systems and conducted analysis on sales data. The average increase in property value of 9,6 %. The articles also gives good input on negative externalities (which however never exceeds the benefits), for example increased criminality. The participants in the survey are expecting that all types of properties will increase in value within a radius of 1 kilometer from the stations. They consider that there is a potential market for private co-financing and that middle-class areas are the ones with highest willingness to pay for subway.

Abstract:

The concern of climate change and Greenhouse Gas emission have increased national consideration toward energy efficiency. Despite noticeable action which have taken by EU cities and Sweden government to mitigate the climate change, there is still shortage in appropriate energy measurements in old residential buildings. Due to the fact that a large share of residential buildings in Sweden have constructed more than 40 years ago, most of them need energy renovation to enhance efficiency and saving more energy. In order to encourage home owners toward energy efficiency renovations, some cost effective measurements have to introduce to people with the view of effect on property value. To this end, 50 detached houses and villas in Kronoberg County in Sweden have been chosen and analyzed to identify how renovation can increase the property value. These houses have been set in different categories by location, heating system, deep renovation, energy and aesthetic renovation. After that, compares the sold prices and biding prices for each category. Moreover, it analyses the people behavior toward renovation to see how can motive people to adopt necessary energy efficient renovation. This research also shows the current situation of building renovation, the most favourite renovation which are adopted by people as well as providing information about the factors affect the value of the house after renovation.

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics
This paper examines if the use of the fair value model is value relevant in companies where the investment properties are not their core business. An analysis is also made into whether the disclosed fair value of investment property is perceived by investors. The sample includes Portuguese listed companies subject to the mandatory adoption of IAS/IFRS since 2005. The results achieved indicate that investors price shares differently when companies choose either the cost model or the fair value model. However, results do not show evidence that investors significantly valuate differences between the historical cost and disclosed fair value in the notes for companies adopting the cost model.

After Sanofi acquired intellectual property (IP) from bankrupt Pelikan Technologies it desired to leverage the IP to identify a product concept to enhance the company's portfolio. To facilitate the project, a structured opportunity identification process was utilized. This process consisted of four major steps: Problem Framing, Idea Search, Screen, and Refine. Problem Framing formulated the innovation challenge. Idea Search sourced over two dozen potential opportunities that spanned markets and industries. Using a tournament selection approach, the Screen step filtered the opportunities according technical and strategic objectives. This selected an integrated blood measurement device as the opportunity of focus. This leverages the IP to simplify at-home blood testing while simultaneously reducing pain. The Refine step evaluated the opportunity using a framework that assessed markets, product, competitiveness, economics, and risk. The beachhead market is the diabetes market and potential follow-on markets are oncology, multiple sclerosis, rare diseases, and cardio-metabolic diseases. Key technology elements were assembled into a variety of conceptual approaches and evaluated according to market fit. This identified a conceptual approach that integrates all disposable elements (i.e. lancet and blood test element) into a single disposable cartridge that can be inserted into an electronically actuated meter. The projected financial returns in the beachhead market have a positive nominal NPV. NPV sensitivity was calculated based on estimated cost and revenue item variations. In all cases the NPV remains positive, but this highlighted key drivers of economic performance along with risks that need to be resolved in future development work. With key assumptions identified, Sanofi is in an excellent position to decide whether or not to pursue the identified opportunity. In addition, this project acts as a pilot for a structured opportunity identification process within the company and it is recommended that Sanofi adopt a similar process as part of its product development workflow. Finally, the company should adjust resources and financial commitment to ensure full cross-functional teams can be staffed to execute opportunity identification work. These improvements will enable the company to more effectively execute corporate entrepreneurial activities.

This paper searches for the property value component due to existence of a redevelopment option. We do an empirical study based on over 6,600 industrial property transactions across United States from 2000 to 2018. This can be seen as a discovery journey of improving the methodology in identifying and evaluating the redevelopment option value embedded in the transaction price of such property traded among investors in the private property market. Starting from simple OLS regression, we observed a reverse causality phenomenon between property sales price and a dummy variable of the intention to redevelop the property, in which the redevelopment flag was associated with lower priced properties. The journey then ended up verifying the improvement in the most advanced methodology that academics on the frontier apply in studying the value of the redevelopment option. This advanced methodology by Buechler et al (2020)1 deploys an empirical analysis strategy using a probit model to develop a redevelopment propensity metric, instead of the dummy variable of redevelopment intention. We apply this methodology to solve the endogeneity problem with the original simple OLS regression, and we find that industrial properties have an average redevelopment probability of 0.22, which generates option value of $5.8/sqft (land), or 19% of the average property price per square foot of land ($30.2/sqft(land)). Comparing our study findings for industrial property with that of the Buechler et al study (2020) which is on all property types, the implication is that on average redevelopment option value tends to be a greater percentage of industrial property value than for the other types of commercial properties. The option value is not necessarily greater in absolute terms, but relative to the value of the property. These results apply on average to all industrial properties, not just to those sold specifically to be redeveloped.

Thesis, Karlstad University, Faculty of Economic Sciences, Communication and IT, 2007. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kau:diva-1074.

Full text

Abstract:

On January 1, 2005 a new accounting standard became the valid standard for all listed companies within the EU and among them the property companies. This means that the real estate business now appraise their property holdings at fair value, using the IAS 40 – Investment Property standard.

The new IAS/IFRS standards opens up for a more subjective judgment, and appraisal at fair value is used to a greater extent. An important problem which should be acknowledged when appraising properties at fair value is the uncertainty that the appraisal is associated with.

A description whether the property companies use the sales comparison approach or the income approach when appraising their property holdings have been given. And by reading annual reports and sending questionnaires to the listed property companies on the Swedish market a study has been made about how properties are appraised. Another aim was to find out if the standard has led to an increased comparability and a true and fair view.

In the frame of reference, information taken from annual reports and other literature has been presented, in order to form statements further on. The types of references used are accounting concepts, standards and models of appraisal. A number of definitions as well as the meaning of having an appraisal made internally and externally have been discussed.

The frame of reference is then followed by the empirical studies, where information derived from the annual reports has been combined with information provided by the respondents to our questionnaires. The respondents are not only represented by 13 companies but also by two auditors and Bo Nordlund, who is doing research within this field.

The result of the study is first of all that the cash flow model is the one used by all companies, whereas the sales comparison approach is used only to estimate certain components in the cash flow model. Secondly, property appraisal will always be surrounded by a high degree of subjectivity and uncertainty. This is why we question the expression ‘fair value’, will it ever be possible to reach a fair value when appraising?

Abstract:

Despite the large number of case studies estimating the impact of railways on property values, there is as yet no research conducted specifically for the Dubai Metro. This study applies the existing empirical methods, corrected for sources of bias, to test for the effect of the Dubai Metro on the values of residential and retail properties. The results will also be of interest to neighbouring cities developing their first railways. The existing empirical work reveals a large variation in estimates for the effect of railways on property values. This thesis provides a comprehensive meta-analysis examining the sources of variation and relating these findings to the estimates for the Dubai Metro. As an addition to the existing literature, this study examines the effect on sale and rent values using repeated cross-sectional and pseudo panel data, and makes a case for the preferred data structure. Besides applying the known measures of accessibility to a metro, this research represents the first attempt to test for the effect of the change in the generalized cost of travel (GC) due to the operations of the metro. The results from the preferred models indicate negative, insignificant and positive impacts of the metro on the sale value of dwellings located at different distances. The metro also enhances the rent value of dwellings and the sale value of retail properties. The study also finds an increase in the value of dwellings due to a decrease in the GC. The results suggest that while a reduction in the GC of public transport boosts the sale value of retail properties, values are higher in areas with higher private and public transport trip rates. The positive effect of the metro implies that a value capture mechanism can be explored, provided the related policy implications are understood.

Abstract:

The differences between firms‘ book values and market values has drawn attention to investigate what factors are causing this phenomenon. A considerable amount of research was dedicated to investigating the association between firms‘ innovative activity, which results in the patenting of new products or services and firms market value in the context of United States. However, not many studies of similar kind are documented in the Swedish firms context. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the previous studies, and analyze whether and how patents and R&D are associated with Swedish firms‘ market values. For this study the cross-section and time-series data were collected from publicly listed Swedish companies’ financial statements and the Amadeus database. Investigation begins with an attempt to find out whether R&D and patents are associated. Finally, the hypothesis is tested whether patents are positively associated with Swedish firms’ market values. The results partially support the expectations. There was no strong statistical association found between R&D and patents, however in the final model patents were found to be positively associated with Swedish firms’ market values. A conclusion can be drawn that the patent is a powerful device providing incentives for innovation, while innovation in products and services ensures that our quality of life is increasing.

Uba, Okwuchukwu Gerald. "Determining the Property Value Impact of Landfills." PDXScholar, 1994. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4751.

Full text

Abstract:

The decline in property value can be due to owner's act or exogenous act from the operation of landfills. Landfill neighbors, especially home owners, perceive landfill operation to pose environmental safety problem such as ground water contamination and methane gas leakage that could affect home value. Owners of landfills, especially those landfills that accept only dry waste (limited purpose landfill), claim that since their facilities meet the requirements of environmental regulations and the type of waste they accept could not possibly produce methane gas and leachate there is no property value impact of their facilities. Several studies have shown that landfills do not have impact on property value. However, one recent study found that a large regional landfill have impact on property value. The property value impact of a limited purpose landfill located in Portland, Oregon, was investigated in this study. Data were gathered for homes in approximately one half mile radius around the landfill for the periods before the landfill opened, during operation, and after closure. Hedonic estimation technique incorporated in a multiple linear regression was used to control for a key variable (proximity or distance between the landfill and homes) and examine the relationship of this variable and sale price of homes. The results show that distance of homes (the proxy for perception) from the landfill was positively related and statistically significant with sale prices of homes during the period the landfill was in operation. Distance of homes sold in the periods the landfill was not in existence or operation was not positively related nor statistically significant with sale prices. That is, the operational effects of the landfill was capitalized into property value. With this result, the issue of whether neighbors of landfills should be compensated deserve more attention. The results of this study would be very helpful in negotiating compensation. The results also show that if adequate pollution mitigation measures are in place landfill zoning ordinance should be based on the fact that landfill sites would yield maximum economic benefit to the owner after closure.

Abstract:

The purpose was to evaluate airport impact on nearby residential property values (RPV). The hypothesis was that a relationship between noise levels, and nearby RPV could be identified and quantified. The objective was to model a relationship between housing location with respect to an airport and housing value, taking into consideration other relevant factors. Evaluation of aviation facilities impact on RPV was based on a sample of 587 single-family houses sold during 1984 and 1985. Selling price was used as the dependent variable. Independent variables included physical characteristics of a house, distance to the closest airport, accessibility of a house to the urban area, and supply and demand for houses. Distance to nearest airport was used as a surrogate for aircraft noise level. Study indicated that impact of aviation facilities on RPV could be quantified using selling price of a house as the dependent variable and distance from an airport as a primary independent variable along with physical characteristics of a house. Effect of an airport on RPV appears dependent not only on distance, but also on type of airport and selling price of a house. Davis-Monthan Airport (DM), a military airport, has a significantly greater impact than Tucson International Airport (TIA), a commercial airport. DM impact was greatest on houses priced above sample median. However, lower priced houses were effected more when the impact was expressed as a percent of selling price. DM impact area was approximately 2 miles from the airport, while TIA impact was about 1 mile from the facility. Distance from DM was the most significant variable in describing variation in selling price for houses closest to this facility. Living area of a house was also a very significant variable. Distance to TIA was not very significant in evaluating selling price variation. Living area and age of a house were generally the most significant variables describing selling price variation for TIA subset.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis examines a particular contention made by John Rawls with regard to his account of the derivation of the principles of justice. In both A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism Rawls maintains that the specification of property rights over the means of production is not part of the question of justice, but should rather reflect the customs and traditions of particular societies. It is argued in the thesis that this position cannot be maintained within the context of Rawls's overall argument. In particular, it is contended that Rawls's position on this reflects his uncritical reliance on Koopmans's Three Essays on the State of Economic Science (in which institutional detail such as the specification of property rights over the means of production is explicitly characterised as irrelevant) as a statement of the 'laws' of economics presumed known to those in the Original Position. The assumptions made by Rawls in constructing his argument, particularly his account of the circumstances of justice, are shown to reflect the strong, and in the context of Rawls's account, damaging assumptions underlying Koopmans's theoretical framework. These include the exclusion of preferences over work and the assumption that efficiency is unrelated to property rights specifications. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that these problems reflect a deeper issue: the theory of value upon which economic theories rest. The works of Luigi Pasinetti are employed to show the importance, for Rawls, of the distinction between theories based on exchange and those based on production. The latter are more suited to Rawls's project, and an example of them, Pasinetti's 'natural' system, is shown to be more suitable than Koopmans's framework as an account of economic theory in the Original Position.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this thesis was to increase the understanding of how formal and informal intellectual property may affect value generation of strategic and financial values within the nanotechnology start-up sector. Method – This study had an inductive approach through a qualitative multi-case study. The data collection was carried out through 23 interviews, including four exploratory interviews and 19 semi-structured interviews. The collected data was continuously analyzed in order to identify concepts, themes and aggregated dimensions. The collected data was analyzed through two categories, namely type of intellectual property and prioritized type of value desired. Findings – Through protecting innovations nanotechnology start-ups seek both strategic and financial values. The findings show nanotechnology start-ups seek strategic values in the form of trustworthiness through qualified recognition, ability to increase in market share, and having a competitive presence on the market. The findings further show nanotechnology start-ups seek financial values in the form of effective resource allocation, direct income from market transactions, and ability to attain investors. Furthermore, the findings suggest that for nanotechnology start-ups to effectively generate strategic and financial values it can be beneficial to combine formal and informal IP where a combination of trade secrets and patents can be valuable. Theoretical contributions – The analysis resulted in a grounded theory articulation in the form of a conceptual framework describing the relationships between the type of IP and how it may affect value generation for nanotechnology start-ups. This study adds to previous research that aspects fulfilling market demands can be effectively protected by patents, and aspects difficult to reverse engineer can be effectively protected by trade secrets in order to generate strategic and financial value. This study also adds to theory by identifying enablers describing how nanotechnology start-ups can generate strategic and financial values, and which type of IP is associated with each enabler. Practical implications – This study provide managers within the nanotechnology start-up sector with a framework suggesting how to generate different values from protecting innovations. The study further concludes that there are six important aspects to consider in creating effective IP strategies within the nanotechnology start-up sector. These aspects include; mapping the technological environment and the commercial market, determining which actual strategic and financial values are important for the start-up, protecting different aspects of an innovation with different types of IP, having trade secrets on aspects of an innovation that are hard to reverse engineer, to formally protect aspects of an innovation that fulfills market demand, and making a plan for how the rights attained can generate value.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the property value impacts of neighbourhood improvements to infrastructure provided by local government. The direct and indirect effects of a revitalization effort are studied in order to determine whether neighbourhood improvement programs generate positive spill over effects (externalities) to surrounding single family homes. These impacts are examined for a number of reasons: (a) property value determination studies have thus far omitted a treatment of detailed neighbourhood infrastructure variables; (b) the literature discussing externalities created by government intervention has either focussed primarily on the negative effects created by federal intervention, been theoretical in nature, or has been empirically inconclusive or contradictory; (c) the implementation of a neighbourhood improvement program in Canada was conceived of as a policy which would protect the investment of housing rehabilitation projects and has thus been expected to create positive neighbourhood effects. The empirical analysis performed in this study examines neighbourhood improvements in general and a neighbourhood improvement program in particular. The Canadian Neighbourhood Improvement Program (NIP) is empirically analyzed using multiple regression analysis. An analysis of covariance technique allows us to test whether neighbourhood improvements have a greater impact on housing values if they were provided in NIP designated areas or in NIP years. The empirical results of this study indicate that there are very few externalities created by the NIP program. In some cases, improvements were found to have a negative impact on single family house prices indicating that some improvements generate a negative effect. In addition, living adjacent to a NIP designated area was found to negatively affect single family house prices in one of the study years. These findings imply that a justification for similar improvement efforts need to be based on something other than property value increases. Policy analysts should consider other economic and non-economic justifications for such efforts before embarking on similar programs.

Abstract:

Tree species migration as a result of climate change may alter the composition of trees in local communities. Shifts in tree diversity, stand age, species predominance and the overall number of trees are potential changes. Community tree programs may also change the characteristics of local trees through planting or preservation efforts, but these programs may also mitigate the effects of climate induced tree migration. Numerous hedonic property value studies have estimated the implicit price of tree amenities associated with residential properties. Quantitative analysis of the results from multiple studies valuing trees can identify if the relationship between implicit price and tree amenities extended across these studies. The results of the meta-regression found systematic variation was present across positive implicit prices for local tree cover. The scarcity, age and type of local trees were also significantly related to the implicit price of amenity tree cover. The amenity tree cover findings suggest that county tree canopy cover of about 42% optimizes implicit price. Recent extreme weather events and ownership of trees contributed to negative implicit prices. These results may assist in planning and goal setting for community tree programs to mitigate the effects of climate induced tree migration.

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the presence of client's influences on property valuer behaviour in South Africa. The study aims to investigate the existence of these influences, the variables of these influences and the possible consequences for the valuation industry. International literature reveals that this phenomenon is prevalent in a number of countries. This study aims to uncover this phenomenon in South Africa. Registered South African valuers are targeted by survey questionnaires to extract the relevant data necessary to support this claim. The response rate is a broad representation and sufficient data is gathered for the research purposes. Furthermore, prominent valuation companies and valuers are interviewed in order to elaborate and support the data extracted from the survey questionnaire. The study indicates that client influence on valuers exists in South Africa and that a majority (54%) of practising valuers have adjusted their valuations after client interaction. The concern is that this prevalence of influence will be detrimental to the valuation industry in South Africa. This study aims to promote awareness of these influences, and recommendations are made to curb this phenomenon.

This thesis evaluates the relationship between rapid rail transit accessibility and investment property values through a series of interviews, literature and report reviews, and a quantitative empirical analysis of over 1,000 investment property sales transactions. Theory tells us that within urban environments, proximity to rail transit generates value that accrues to the real estate owner. Initiatives in various municipalities across the world have attempted to tap into the value created by major projects to help finance infrastructure investment, but there has yet to be one method that is universally applied. Major infrastructure improvements are expensive, time consuming, and challenging to deliver. While there are multiple hurdles to overcome in order to create an expansion or new rail project, finding funding sources is amongst the most difficult. A large focus of the thesis is understanding value creation along rail access nodes in pursuit of evaluating alternative financing sources. We take both a qualitative and quantitative approach to understanding the value creation, including the "announcement effect" prior to actual completion of the infrastructure project. These issues are explored through an examination of the practices in the Boston Metropolitan Region. Specifically, we use a current, in-progress rail expansion, the Green Line Extension (GLX), to investigate the process of delivering a substantial infrastructure project and its impact on real estate value. Such projects have far reaching impacts and effects, so throughout the thesis we broaden the lens and highlight issues, ancillary benefits, and experiences of other cities that have endeavored to undertake similar projects. Among our major quantitative findings, we observe that, within the Northwest Boston Basin (our focus area), having close proximity to operational rail rapid transit stations adds up to $48/SF, or nearly 39%, to property value, holding all else constant as best as data allows (including land use). We find some evidence that the GLX project may ultimately increase property values even more than this, as our study indicates that properties near planned GLX stations appear to have already increased substantially in value relative to otherwise similar properties subsequent to the announcement of specific planned station locations in 2008.

Abstract:

Facilities Management (FM) has and continues to evolve strongly as a strategic function in many organisation. Many organisations have also recognised the importance of human capital for the success of their operations. This is why the concept of Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is growing in popularity and is becoming one of the main focuses especially in human capital management spheres. Whilst there are many factors that contribute to the EVP, strategic FM has not been one of the focus areas. Although strategic FM has had a focus on user satisfaction as well as the usability of facilities, the focus of research to date has not necessarily been directed to EVP. Hence, this study explores the impact of strategic FM on employee value proposition. It explores this through quantitative and qualitative research means in a chosen case study of an organisation where strategic FM has been and still in the process of being implemented. The research establishes employee’s opinions on the importance of their work environment; whether their workspace support their effectiveness; whether their workspace provides flexibility for collaborations and teamwork; and other factors related to employee satisfaction. The findings of the study indicate that strategic FM does have an impact on employee value proposition. There are also indications that employees believe that FM services play a role in employee satisfaction which may lead to employee retention as well as employee recruitment which are two of the identified factors of employee value proposition.

Abstract:

Virginia is the east coast's largest producer of eastern oysters and produces more than any other state. As the industry grows to meet increasing demand, more conflicts have arisen with other resource users, especially waterfront property owners. Some landowners claim oysters impact recreational and aesthetic uses of their property, therefore lowering the value of the home. Using a hedonic property value model, this study examines the effect of oyster aquaculture on waterfront properties by using 2,245 property sales from 16 counties and independent cities and information on aquaculture activity from 2012-2016. The results suggest that oyster aquaculture has a positive effect on waterfront property values, but a negative effect when using cage equipment.

Full text

Abstract:

Nowadays, as people have higher aspiration for quality of life, the way they value housing no longer looks for provision of fixed structure and physical comfort, but also the pleasure they enjoy from the spatial fixity and the service available in attached with the property. Historically, hedonic pricing model is the most popular way for valuation of housing by modeling the implicit price of attributes comprised in a residential premise. This research, based on the hedonic pricing framework, creatively and skillfully adopts the experimentation method to measure the value property management services in the residential properties in Hong Kong. After a thorough literature on both development of property management as well as the determinants and appraisal of property value, the experiment manipulates the criteria that potential property buyers would consider and simulate the information processing environment for decision making of home purchase, through which the value of property management services is then measured from the users' perspective. The experiment result confirms the importance of property management services, and statistically testifies the hypotheses to reveal the interaction between property management and property value. It finds that property management services in general have contribution to the value of the property being managed, and higher quality of service significantly contributes more. Even for same service quality, the role of property management becomes prominent to inferior grade of residential building, or presents larger impact when the property depreciates over time. Adoptability of experiment methodology is successfully justified. Hedonic regression approach in return examines the setting of the experiment and proves its subsequent result. Experimentation not only provides a powerful way of moving beyond simple questions about "do you think property management is important" or "how important is it" in normal survey, but also makes real time data available rather than analyzing the historical property transaction records in common hedonic modeling. People's appreciation to the intangible management services is well and truly measured from careful experimental arrangement. Such result surely expands the application of hedonic pricing model in measuring the magnitude of an intrinsic attribute, and provides good reference to the property management industry, real estate developers, academic researchers, and the society at large.

Abstract:

In this dissertation I explore the role and importance of patent strategy for appropriating returns from innovation. In particular, I examine the mechanisms through which firms increase appropriability from patenting by employing complementary resources and capabilities and gauge their contribution to firm performance. To this end, I perform three empirical studies. In the first study, I focus on measuring patent value and demonstrate that the importance of firm resources and capabilities is much higher than previously thought. I interpret these results as providing strong support for the view that the design of patent strategy is crucial for profiting from innovation. In the second study, I look into a sample of technology acquisitions and examine under what circumstances firms profit from combining previously separate patent rights. I demonstrate that the merging of overlapping patent portfolios give rise to inimitable synergies, albeit only in complex technology industries. In addition, I find that firms are more likely to acquire targets with patents when their patent productivity is low, when they have a technologically diverse patent portfolio in complex technology industries and when they face an increased threat of being involved in patent suits. In the third study, I explore the role of patent strategies in the non-technological domain. I demonstrate that recent regulatory changes enabling the patenting of business methods can help patentees capture value from business model and management innovations. Moreover, I find that patenting experience and access to complementary assets are both crucial elements of a patenting strategy aimed at increasing appropriability. Taken together, these studies contribute towards bringing studies of patenting and the resource-based view of the firm closer together, to mutual advantage. This results in a better understanding of the effectiveness of patents at the firm-level and in a clearer operationalization of concepts of resources and resource interdependence.

Abstract:

The dissertation explores the financial ramifications of US military base closure on local community real estate property values. The dissertation examines an area that has not received sufficient research. Previous works on military base closure by Bradshaw, Kroll, Corley, Kirshenbaum and Harlan (1995); Dardia, McCarty, Malkin, and Vernez, (1996); Hooker and Knetter (2001) and Krizan (1998) examine more generalized economic factors such as employment and macroeconomic activity. More recent published dissertation work by authors Hall (1998) and Poppert (2002) have provided interesting explanatory hypotheses to assist municipal and state leaders in crafting working plans to assist communities where base closure occurs. This dissertation intends to look into the effects on real estate property values in the wake of military base closures. The dissertation expands the study of base closure effects into a relatively new area on the fluctuation of real estate property values. An enhanced understanding of how military base closures affect real estate values will have implications for real estate investors, developers, city and county government planners, and budget directors from local school districts to state government.
