Rent control measures are typically in place to assist low-income households and decrease segregation.

Academics and businesses alike tend to fail at understanding how the IoT revolution is monetized. We outline three main categories of how IoT will impact business models: (a) improved customer matching and tracking of marketing returns, (b) individualized offers and pricing when consumer demand and price elasticities can be identified, and (c) smar...

Appraisal data can address the issue of selection bias and a potential overestimation of foreclosure relate...

Using data from Stockholm, Sweden, it is examined if foreclosed properties are sold at a discount. This institutional setting differentiates from the U.S. and studies of REO properties. It is found that properties experience an eight times higher turnover subsequent to a foreclosure compared with the general market, indicating that professional buy...
