Presented here is a series of briefings on the effect of globalisation and the importance of macro-economics and geo-politics in real estate research. Together they offer unique insights, new ideas and practical approaches to real estate analysis, grounded in the day-to-day realities of running of a property company. The research was conducted by economists who are professionally competent in micro and macro economics so the output is of a high standard. The topics often address the relationship between real estate and the macro economy - an area not well treated by academics. After an introduction detailing the practicalities of doing real estate research, the research topics are grouped into the following broad themes: macro-economic influences on real estate performance; office markets; retail property; residential property; yields and investors; and occupiers and rents. Topics cover all commercial property - office, retail and residential - in over 40 countries. The focus is on the private sector, though there is also discussion on the relationship between public and private sectors. Real Estate and Globalisation has two strong unifying themes - the effect of globalisation; and the importance of macro-economics and geo-politics in real estate research - running throughout. The author provides full commentary on each topic, giving the context and the implications for strategy.
