Article Abstract:
Developers continue construction work, despite rising vacancies, and actual vacancies may not tally with long term rates, since temporary changes in local markets are linked to major responses in terms of construction and vacancies. A classic inventory demand model can be adapted by including a lottery feature to help explain the link between construction and vacancies, and phenomena such as the boom and subsequent slump in the property markets during the 1980s. The framework helps direct attention on local factors influencing construction decisions, and can be used for further empirical studies.

Article Abstract:
The risks and returns associated with real estate stocks as recorded in the stock market are analyzed regarding the effect of the information on the nature of real estate returns. Results show that the predictive impact of lagged stock returns is most apparent before the fourth quarter. Thus, real estate values are affected by stock market information, especially for appraisal-based index series such as the Russell-NCREIF Property Index.
