Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global events and local structural headwinds are impacting the macroeconomic landscape of many countries. The trajectory of the GDP, the issue of unemployment, an inflationary situation, market interest rates, credit availability and liquidity, tax systems, government spending, and capital flows are critical factors that often impact the performance and development of several sectors of a country’s economy. This usually triggers a suite of monetary and fiscal policies, including unconventional measures like quantitative easing, to address any issues in the economy.
These financial and macroeconomic dynamics have significant implications for real estate markets. In this Special Issue, titled “The Impact of Macroeconomic and Financial Factors on Real Estate Markets”, Economies is inviting researchers, academics, policy actors, and industry practitioners to submit their work within this area of research. Examples of topics that are well situated in this Special Issue are monetary policies and housing affordability, access to finance and homeownership, the role of the government in homeownership, the nexus between macroeconomic fundamentals and the real estate market, e-commerce and real estate, the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) investment landscape, capital flows and the real estate market, and the economics of build-to-rent. Papers can be theoretically or empirically based, and approaches can be qualitative or quantitative or a mix of both, using case studies, surveys, interviews, time series data analysis, panel data analysis, and statistical and/or econometric analysis. Findings should clearly lay out how national and international economic trends may affect the real estate market.
