Markets & Institutions in Real Estate & Construction

It covers market dynamics - supply and demand; the interaction of property development and construction - and examines institutions and market structures. Real estate development and construction tend to be separate subjects in the literature. But construction is an inevitable part of any property development process and so has a major influence on the institutional structure of development. Markets & Institutions in Real Estate & Construction argues that these structures are best explained as a series of modern economic theories, based on competition and current production technologies. offers focus and breadth, and deal with controversial debates economic arguments made accessible through a non-technical writing style presents long-run international comparison of property market behaviour reflects internationalisation of property and construction marketsBall, Michael is the author of 'Markets & Institutions in Real Estate & Construction ' with ISBN 9781405110990 and ISBN 1405110996.
