Espinosa, Maria Rowena. "Examining the effectiveness of grand round scenarios using BioWorld : does real-world practice improve real-world learning?" Thesis, McGill University, 2000. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=33284.
Abstract (sommario):
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of cased-based learning, writing and peer discussions on learning about digestive diseases in a computer-based learning environment, BioWorld. This method was called the Grand Rounds method. Thirty-one, ninth grade biology students participated in the study. Two classes were randomly selected as the Rounds group and the No Rounds group. All students worked collaboratively in pairs to solve diagnostic problems on BioWorld. The Rounds group then engaged in the Grand Rounds activities while the No Rounds group conducted a web search and solved a final BioWorld problem. Both treatments demonstrated significant knowledge gains of digestive problems from pretest to posttest but the gains were greater in the Rounds group. There were no significant changes from pre to post questionnaire in students' attitudes towards biology or peer work/discussion. The verbal protocols revealed students used diagnostic heuristics while solving cases, and discourse communities emerged among the students. Overall, this study confirms the benefits of written and oral discourse, and authentic learning activities in classrooms.

Cheremnykh, Anna. "INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE: PRAGUE CASE STUDY". Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2013. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-199519.
Abstract (sommario):
This paper analyzes the influence of several factors on rental and purchase price of Real Estate in Prague. The idea is that purchase and rental price could be influenced by different factors. To make a decision about "buy to rent" investment it is necessary to consider both sides. The aim is to conduct thorough analysis to find out whether differential factors exist, and if so, what they are. The comparison of these factors and their separated effects helps to understand the total effect on potential profitability and to make right decision about attractive properties for "buy to rent" investment. The paper serves to inform investors who are making decisions about investment properties.

Selldahl, Sara. "Virtual currencies- Real opportunities?" Thesis, KTH, Entreprenörskap och Innovation, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-140649.
Abstract (sommario):
The European Central Bank defines virtual currencies as ”unregulated, digital money, which is issued and usually controlled by its developers, and used and accepted among the members of a specific virtual community.” (European Central Bank, 2012, p. 5) The interest in virtual currencies has increased immensely over the last few years as they become increasingly prevalent in our society across many different industries. Up until now, the field of virtual currencies has been mainly uncharted land and despite interest in specific currencies, few attempts have been made at understanding or structuring the entire landscape The main research question in this thesis is related to the previously mentioned dilemma: understanding and structuring the virtual currency ecosystem, today and in the future. How can the virtual currency landscape currently be analyzed in a structured manner and what framework can be used to reflect and make predictions on the future development? The thesis is based on four different sources of information: a literature study of existing material, corporate interviews with companies dealing with virtual currencies and consumer interviews with potential early adopters, an online survey and a case study performed at Ericsson M-Commerce. The case study of Ericsson M-Commerce has provided valuable insight into understanding how companies reason when considering adopting virtual currencies into their product portfolio and greatly helped the process of structuring the virtual currency market in a comprehensive manner. In return, the thesis has also provided decision material for the department concerning virtual currencies. This thesis divides virtual currencies into five groups: Prepaid Value, Loyalty Points, Monetization Currencies, Gaming Currencies and Value Encoded Currencies. This model has been developed as a framework for the analysis of the current situation in this thesis. However, the analysis in the thesis has shown that as virtual currencies evolve, it will probably become more relevant to instead consider their functions. It is likely that virtual currencies will consolidate into three distinct functional types: virtual currency as a unit of account, virtual currency as a business model for monetization, and virtual currencies as a product that can be sold. As virtual currencies evolve, the future is not only filled with many challenges, but also many new opportunities. In this thesis, an attempt to gain an abstract understanding of how the field is developing has been made, but it remains to be seen what the real impacts of virtual currencies will be as they continue to gain traction.

At the entity level, the design of sound corporate governance mechanisms is critical for REITs that are preparing to go public. At the industry level, issues of transparency and corporate governance are consequential to the further development of REITs in Asia. This study looks at various REIT regimes and corporate governance systems around the world. It then proceeds to examine the governance structures in place at the time of an IPO in the emerging REIT market of Singapore. The mechanisms of corporate governance used to evaluate the IPO of the REIT include (i) board structure and composition, (ii) ownership, (iii) compensation, and (iv) takeover defenses. The findings point to evidence that corporate governance structures are not "one size fits all" and must be tailored to fit the appropriate institutional context.

van, de Wiel Wimjan, e Bock Felix Kristopher. "Real Estate Financing and Interest Rate Hedging : A quantitative real estate investment case study". Thesis, Internationella Handelshögskolan, Högskolan i Jönköping, IHH, Företagsekonomi, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-36235.
Abstract (sommario):
Background: The expansive monetary policy of the European Central Bank has been leading to all-time-low interest rates and to a strong move into real estate investment. Low interest rates can work in favor of the investor (due to low interest rate expenditures), but increasing interest rates can jeopardize real estate investments. Since changes in interest rates are unpredictable, an investor needs to deal with this volatility. The capital market offers several financial instruments (so-called “derivatives”) to overcome the above-mentioned obstacle. There is no “one-size-fits-all” strategy. The investor needs to decide which financing structure to combine with which form of derivative. Purpose: The investigation not only explains and shows how real estate financing and hedging strategies on a given project in Germany can work but also explains why it is crucial to link these segments. To achieve this purpose, the return on equity and return cash flows at risk are numerically estimated. The evaluative purpose will be served by using the above-mentioned ratios and cash flows to derive recommendations of action. In doing so, this study will illustrate the importance of hedging, particularly for real estate investors and investors in general. Method: Interest rates on a monthly basis for the period of June 1990 until March 2017 from Thomson Reuters Eikon and real life data from a German real estate investor and a German financial institution were collected. Thereafter, these numbers were used as a basis to perform interest rate and cash flow simulations (Monte Carlo). The simulations were used to determine superior financing and hedging strategies for the investor. Conclusion: The results of this study highlight the benefits from leveraged financing and the necessity of interest rate risk management (hedging) to obtain stabilized future cash flows and reduce volatility caused by fluctuating interest rates. Fixed rate loans offer protection against rising interest rates, but lack flexibility. Floating loans offer more flexibility but are riskier due to the unhedged interest rate exposure.

New York City is projected to add nearly one million residents by the year 2040. At a time when housing supply and affordability are a significant factor for global competitiveness, the city has implemented a variety of regulations and incentives to encourage new development. Current Mayor Bill de Blasio's housing strategy includes an initiative to rezone several neighborhoods to accommodate higher density, encouraging the private real estate development industry to build more units while requiring that a portion of those units be made permanently affordable. While rezoning actions are often studied years later in order to provide enough time to measure their success, the city's plan calls for as many as 15 neighborhoods to be rezoned within 10 years. A real-time analysis of an individual neighborhood rezoning proposal, approved during the time of this thesis, provides the ability to evaluate research questions related to how rezoning is being carried out now and how participants may alter their strategies going forward. The neighborhood of East Harlem, the third area in the city to undergo this rezoning process, is thus used as a case study for how rezoning is carried out, compromised and ultimately approved. The analysis reveals that the total amount of new residential development made possible through rezoning is limited compared to a "no action" scenario. Thus, the most significant impacts of rezoning are not to dramatically increase the number of new residential units to be built, but rather to require that a portion of those new units are made affordable through the introduction of the city's mandatory inclusionary housing program. Additionally, the rezoning process resulted in significant city commitments to public investments in the neighborhood. Yet, these commitments are not guaranteed within a specific timeframe and are almost entirely the responsibility of the public sector to implement. While the ability of rezoning to produce a significant number of new residential units is limited, rezoning will continue to serve as a primary means for the city to attempt to house its growing population.

Taking an analytical approach, this thesis will address how the unmet housing need of urban single-person households can be rectified by the introduction of micro-apartments. The existing housing stock has been built largely based on the needs of a historically stable demand for family housing. By 2025, the number of single households will equal the number of households containing families with children. Given the remarkable increase in single-person households over the past few decades, a significant gap has formed in the availability of properly priced housing to meet the needs of people who would prefer to live alone. This affordability gap is an opportunity for cities to take strain off of family housing, stimulate the economy, and create innovative housing types that satisfy the needs of their fastest growing demographic. With land and labor costs at an all-time high, apartments with less square footage-micro-apartments- are a viable solution to filling the supply gap for single-person households. This thesis first analyzes this mismatch between supply and demand; introduces micro-apartments as a logical approach to ease the strain on housing; evaluates barriers and alternative theories that delay the implementation of this logical solution; and finally, makes recommendations for planners and policymakers to successfully add micro-apartments to their menu of housing options. The growth in single-person households with various levels of income indicates a significant demand for small units of modest means. Micro-apartments offer the opportunity to live alone to a variety of people, including new arrivals to cities, young professionals, and people at transitional stages in life such as a recent divorcée or a young couple. By offering housing to these segments of demand, micro-apartments will implicitly lessen the strain of existing housing stock intended for families.

Abstract (sommario):
This paper examines the explanatory variables that can affect the real exchange rate (RER). It aims at investigating the way in which RER (real exchange rate) misalignment relates to the Thai economy in regarding the financial crisis, capital control policy imposed by the central Bank of Thailand (BOT), and import/export. The RER (real exchange rate) at the equilibrium level will be estimated using the behavioral effective exchange rate model (BEER model). RER (real exchange rate) misalignment is observed through comparing the calculated RER (real exchange rate) and the estimated RER (real exchange rate) in the long run equilibrium. Using data from year 1993Q1 to 2010Q4, it can be observed the direction in which each main economic factors affecting RER (real exchange rate). The result reveals the RER (real exchange rate) misalignment; overvaluation in the period before 1997 Asian financial crisis and before US subprime crisis in 2008. These misalignments of RER (real exchange rate) correspond to the intervention from BOT. With RER (real exchange rate) misalignment, the impact on import/export sector plays vital role towards criteria of policy selection.

In today's innovation economy, the development of innovation hubs is viewed as a strategic undertaking to nourish the entrepreneurial ecosystem and to enhance economic vitality. The study uses Silicon Valley, one of the most successful innovation hubs in modern history, as a case example to find the factors that have contributed to its success, and how these factors will evolve over time. Using existing literature and in-depth interviews, the study produces a framework of key factors that will influence the development of such hubs in the future. Silicon Valley case shows that the foundation element of a successful innovation hub is people - the human capital. Adding to this element, five hardware ingredients - Universities & R&D Centers, Venture Capital, Major Corporations, Service Providers, and Government - have an irreplaceable role in sustaining the vitality of such hubs. The intangible software, culture with its four dimensions entrepreneurial mentality, mobility of resources, global perspective and shared vision, acts as a catalyst that brings the foundation element and hardware ingredients together, allowing them to interact and cooperate. Ultimately, an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem is formed from the combination of all these factors. The findings from in-depth interviews suggest that the original culture of Silicon Valley will continue to play a key role in future innovation hubs. This entrepreneurial mentality, especially in terms of openness, supportiveness, forgiveness and risk-taking attitude, remains highly desired by today's entrepreneurs. Simultaneously, recent shifts in the demographic landscape have changed the nature of the foundation element - people. Millennials and the Creative Class have become a dominant pool of talented workforce, and they possess different values and preferences compared to other generations. Together with urbanization, this creative workforce shows high appreciation towards the role of place and urban lifestyle. Thus, in order to successfully attract and retain such talents, urban location will play an increasingly important role in future innovation hubs. It is estimated that the "place element" will become a new addition the innovation hub hardware system, supporting the overall development of entrepreneurial climate.

Success in frontier markets could mean high returns for real estate developers and investors. In order to succeed, companies must determine how to provide their products or services in an environment that may not necessarily adhere to familiar institutional, legal or even ethical norms. Strategists may never feel informed enough to make educated decisions because there is not enough data to populate sophisticated financial models. However investors and multinationals have a growing desire to gain exposure to underdeveloped markets. This leaves managers with the challenge of evaluating frontier investment markets and navigating risky foreign business environments. This thesis attempts to answer the following question: to what extent can a researcher establish a viable framework to strategically plan for and operate in frontier market built environments? To answer this question, this thesis shall first address the nature of "frontier markets," then proposes a framework for entrepreneurs or multinationals intending to penetrate a frontier market's built environment through either direct investing or real estate development. The framework is a qualitative model, a compilation of analysis tools used by scholars, economists, political scientists, and investors working with and in emerging markets. The framework assesses markets on a broader, strategic echelon as well as an operational business management level. Lastly, we populate the framework with current information from Iraq, one of the most challenging and interesting frontier markets in the world today. The conclusion assesses the utility of the framework by highlighting information voids as well as potential business opportunities. The conclusion articulates that frontier market analysis will never be as valid as analysis of the developed markets because frontier markets are inefficient and information is difficult to ascertain, thus satisfying the definition of "frontier market". The analysis framework will not yield empirical findings like accurate forecasts of NPV, PV, IRR, etc. It will return, qualitatively, institutional voids in potential business opportunities. Keywords: frontier markets, Iraq, real estate.

Converting existing office properties into residential units offers an innovative method to unlock additional value for real estate in the Central Business District (CBD) of certain major cities. Today, however, this form of adaptive reuse is not considered to be a distinct product category. It is instead viewed as a collection of one-off instances of success driven by exceptional circumstances and unique donor buildings. This thesis will identify key commonalities to value creation that make the approach both replicable and transferable. The following analysis will demonstrate that successful office to residential conversion is not a unicorn within the built environment, but rather a viable strategy to see and find value where others do not. Although, a number of factors have combined to make adaptive reuse a highly profitable activity, there are three main elements that underpin the equation: demand, design, and flexibility. Firstly, the change in usage is the result of current trends causing a shift in the Highest and Best Use (HBU) for those structures. Further driving the emergence of office to residential conversion is innovation in building designs. Office layouts have evolved over time from traditional forms with individual work spaces into open floorplan arrangements. Simultaneously, residential layouts have moved away from standard designs towards including an interior extra bedroom or den. The key to driving value from a conversion is for the finished product to be perceived by the market as new supply. Finally, the flexibility to change product type and extend the existing structure increases profits beyond normal levels. Increased net square footage acts as a multiplier to increase the value created through residential conversion and design innovation. Adding net square footage typically occurs in three forms: maximization of site coverage, increased efficiency, and incremental floor count. As a result, it is no longer mandatory to demolish the old in order to make way for the new. Converting space from class B office to class A luxury residential offers a method to add incremental value to previously built real estate by leveraging these essential elements.

New York City, arguably the world's financial capital and the world's biggest real estate market, and home to some of the finest medical and academic research centers houses a little over a million square feet of life science focused real estate. Despite tremendous academic research potential and financial wherewithal, the life science industry of the city is comparatively much smaller to other New York City industries. In addition, it is much smaller in comparison to life science industry in other parts of the country. This thesis investigates the New York City market as a possible location for developing life science focused real estate assets. As a first step, the research will focus on identifying and analyzing the key demand indicators to establishing the demand for life science focused real estate. Next, the thesis will focus on lab space as a real estate product to understand its main components and value drivers. Upon understanding the market and the product, the research will put forward possible strategies for developing lab buildings in the city. Further, in support of the development strategies the research will look to prove the financial feasibility of developing that life science real estate in the city. This would involve financial analysis and contrasting returns from life science assets against office assets. Lastly, through real options framework the study will go on to demonstrate the benefits of applying flexibility to real assets, while financially valuing this flexibility using the Monte Carlo analysis.

Nilsson, Robert. "Automated Selective Test Case Generation Methods for Real-Time Systems". Thesis, University of Skövde, Department of Computer Science, 2000. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:his:diva-487.
Abstract (sommario):
This work aims to investigate the state of the art in test case generation for real-time systems, to analyze existing methods, and to propose future research directions in this area. We believe that a combination of design for testability, automation, and sensible test case selection is the key for verifying modern real-time systems. Existing methods for system-level test case generation for real-time systems are presented, classified, and evaluated against a real-time system model. Significant for real-time systems is that timeliness is crucial for their correctness. Our system model of the testing target adopts the event-triggered design paradigm for maximum flexibility. This paradigm results in target systems that are harder to test than its time-triggered counterpart, but the model improves testability by adopting previously proposed constraints on application behavior. This work investigates how time constraints can be tested using current methods and reveals problems relating to test-case generation for verifying such constraints. Further, approaches for automating the test-case generation process are investigated, paying special attention to methods aimed for real-time systems. We also note a need for special test-coverage criteria for concurrent and real-time systems to select test cases that increase confidence in such systems. We analyze some existing criteria from the perspective of our target model. The results of this dissertation are a classification of methods for generating test cases for real-time systems, an identification of contradictory terminology, and an increased body of knowledge about problems and open issues in this area. We conclude that the test-case generation process often neglects the internal behavior of the tested system and the properties of its execution environment as well as the effects of these on timeliness. Further, we note that most of the surveyed articles on testing methods incorporate automatic test-case generation in some form, but few consider the issues of automated execution of test cases. Four high-level future research directions are proposed that aim to remedy one or more of the identified problems.

Abstract (sommario):
O presente trabalho analisa a aplicabilidade do método das opções reais na
avaliação de projetos de investimento no setor siderúrgico e compara os resultados
obtidos com os métodos tradicionais de avaliação de projetos. Por ser o aço uma
commodity de grande oscilação nos preços e variabilidade nas quantidades
comercializadas, os retornos dos projetos siderúrgicos são voláteis. A presença
das incertezas citadas, combinadas ao conjunto de flexibilidades gerenciais
existentes nos processos produtivos de aço, gera ambiente propício ao surgimento
de valiosas opções reais, que - por ser assim - podem alterar significativamente o
valor dos projetos e a tomada de decisão de investimentos na siderurgia. Além de
contemplar o reconhecimento das principais opções reais existentes na siderurgia
e prescrever métodos para avaliá-las, o trabalho analisa os modelos estocásticos
que demonstram a melhor adequação ao comportamento dos preços do aço, ao
levar em consideração a disponibilidade de dados empíricos existentes no
mercado. Como aplicações das metodologias discutidas no decorrer da tese são
apresentadas avaliações de dois tipos distintos de opções em reais em projetos
siderúrgicos - parada temporária em fornos elétricos e troca de produto em
siderúrgicas integradas - utilizando 3 tipos distintos de processos estocásticos:
MGB, MRM e MRM com Tendência. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que as
flexibilidades gerenciais avaliadas podem agregar significativamente o valor
criado em projetos siderúrgicos, sendo possível também observar a importância da
escolha do processo estocástico tanto no valor do projeto como também no valor
da opção.This work analyzes the applicability of the real options method in the valuation of investments in steel industry, and compares the outcomes with the traditional methods of project evaluation. Being steel a commodity with high price volatility and great changeability in its demand, the return of steel projects are stochastic. The presence of these uncertainties, combined with the existing set of managerial flexibilities in the steel productive processes, create an adequate environment to emerge valuable real options that consequently may interfere significantly with the project values and the decision making process in the steel industry investments. Besides contemplating the recognition of the main existing real options in the steel sector and prescribing methodologies to evaluate them, the work analyzes stochastic methods that show the best fit to steel price performance, considering the available empirical data existing in the market. As application of the discussed methodologies in the course of the thesis the evaluation of two diferent kinds of real options in the steel industry are presented - shut down options in electrical furnace plants and switch of product in integrated plants - using three different types of sthocastic processes: GBM, MRM and MRM with Drift. The obtained results showed that the evaluated managerial flexibilities can agregate significantily the created value in steel projects and it also may be observed the relevance of the choice of stochastic process not only in the projects value but in the options value as well.

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis adopts a critical management framework to examine identity regulation by exploring the narratives of a group of Australian corporate real estate workers in the Surfers Paradise area of Queensland‟s Gold Coast region. Corporate real estate firms have features that are described in the organisation studies literature as denoting ambidextrous organisations. Identity regulation has not previously been studied in this context. In some real estate settings, the characteristics of ambidextrous organisations, i.e., the presence of different, simultaneous and evolving organisational forms, allow traditional methods of control to operate side-by-side with other less familiar modes. Identity regulation is important as a topic of research as contemporary work and flexible employment practices challenge the ability to use formal modes of control, and even challenge informal controls such as culture change. Identity regulation, endemic to all organisations to some degree, will also pervade real estate work. Real estate employees can be co-opted into the dominant management discourses that are the “markers” of identity regulation and control, despite the nature of the industry and the unconventional ways in which some real estate employees might work. Although the prospect of employees co-creating and regulating their own identities might be seen as a way to escape oppressive constraints, in some real estate contexts identity regulation may not appear to be overtly oppressive or pervasive, and therefore narratives of resistance may be difficult to unearth. However, for particular groups of real estate salespeople, especially those elites accorded special status by virtue of their performance, the setting might give rise to opportunities for them to resist control through new emerging discourses of resistance that re-define their identities. Some might appear to appropriate the organisational identity narratives, but might also negotiate and frame their identities through competing discourses within the dominant discourses that have the potential to resist management‟s identity regulation attempts.
These new discursive practices, resistant or otherwise, can arise in response to the fluid and dynamic nature of social interaction. It is these discursive practices that are investigated in this thesis. The key questions that the thesis addresses are: how are meanings of identity regulation framed in the narrative accounts given by individuals working in an ambidextrous organisational context such as corporate real estate? A second question asked is: if there are possibilities for micro-emancipatory practices arising from identity regulation, how might they be manifested in these accounts? Third, do these accounts illustrate novel or previously unexplored forms of resistance in terms of self-identity regulation? And lastly; what does this suggest for re-theorising control in organisation studies?
Whereas much of the literature deals with identity regulation as a form of domination, in the critical literature it is also seen as a joint project between management and employees that may be neither overt nor premeditated. However, arguments are emerging that even in non-traditional settings, identity regulation is an intentional and pervasive mode of control. It is possible that certain types of real estate sales people, those working in the environments of ambidextrous organisations, embrace the identities offered by the company as a means to professionalise and legitimise their work to a range of others. However, despite a perhaps willing co-option of management‟s dominant identity discourses (Alvesson & Willmott, 2002, p. 620) by the sales “elite”, there may be other narratives of identity regulation in the identity work of real estate sales people. If new narratives are present, they may indicate new forms of identity work that may, or may not be, expressions of resistance. Innovative identity work may emulate established modes of control, or it may indicate new ways in which employees resist control. Within any narratives of resistance there may be traces of micro-emancipatory possibilities in the way real estate salespeople craft and regulate their self-identity work. New discourses of identity regulation may be an indication of an expanding space for resistance, which may allow particular real estate workers to devise and embrace micro-emancipatory possibilities.
In addressing the question of how experiences of identity regulation are represented in the narrative accounts of individuals working in an ambidextrous organisational context such as corporate real estate, several contributions are made. Several possibilities for micro-emancipatory practices arising from identity regulation are manifested in the narratives of the research subjects. These accounts and anecdotes reveal alternative identity discourses which are either novel or might be interpreted as unexplored forms of resistance in terms of self-identity regulation.
The thesis invites researchers of individual (self) identity regulation to explore discourses that extend past organisational boundaries, and to pay greater attention to micro-emancipatory practices that might appear in more mundane contexts of everyday work in order to draw on theory that acknowledges the fluid nature of contemporary work. Methodologically, the thesis demonstrates a reflective and reflexive approach which underscores the relevance and contribution that interview research can make to critical studies of identity regulation.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

The objective of this thesis is to investigate the effects of land supply on housing prices in Hong Kong. Studies will be carried out to define whether there are any correlation between land supply, housing supply and residential property prices. In order to better understand Hong Kong's housing market, this study will first present a background of establishment of Hong Kong's land tenure system, land administration system and the government's land sale process, while trying to answer the question of whether the perceived shortage in housing supply is a direct consequence of the shortage in government's land supply. The study then examines the concentration of market shares among a handful of developers and the high barrier to entry that have resulted in such anti-competitive environment. The study analyzes the leading developers' competitive advantages in terms of land bank and financial strength, and their housing supply strategies in relation to the government's land supply decisions. This paper will then insert the theoretical findings into realistic settings of Hong Kong's housing development industry, and apply the methodology of event study to detect the impact of real estate companies' development strategies and how it alters the perceived relationship between the supply of land and the supply of housing. By simultaneously considering the effects of development strategies with government land policies, the paper aims to better evaluate governments measure to regulate housing market and hope to recommend more effective policies on residential land supply in Hong Kong.

With a large, growing, and young population, Brazil suffers from a chronic shortage of affordable housing. This crisis, in particular, negatively affects new and economically ascending entrants to the housing market. This economic crisis is unfolding concurrently with the global environmental challenges associated with climate and sustainability. This thesis explores the application of modular construction in an affordable housing project in Cuiaba, Brazil. This thesis is comprised of three distinct sections. Section I provides a historical overview of offsite construction with a particular focus on precast concrete in modular construction. It describes the forces and some of the most notable projects and figures that shaped precast construction - especially in its European cradle. It further provides a comprehensive classification of current modular construction and discusses its benefits and limitations. Section II analyzes Brazil's ongoing housing crisis and Brazil's economic trends and realities. It discusses Brazil's National Housing Policy and its flagship program - Minha Casa, Minha Vida. Section III takes the reader to Cuiaba, Mato Grosso's capital, and proposes a 528-unit affordable housing development project there. It explores the establishment of a mobile concrete precasting plant and analyzes the production and application of a novel modular concrete system in the project. Particular attention is paid to the financial viability of the project.

Historically, land use planning has treated industrial land uses either antagonistically or ambivalently. Traditional zoning approaches have restricted, regulated, spatially isolated, and pushed industrial land to the periphery of cities, resulting in a significant loss of urban industrial land across American cities. But as the United States experiences a manufacturing renaissance and cities begin to recognize the value of centrally located industrial land in its contribution to the regional economy, planners are grappling with the issue of how best to secure these viable but vulnerable sites of employment and production. Advanced technologies that are changing the nature of manufacturing and logistics present an exciting opportunity and potential solution: the industrial mixed-use zone. This thesis explores the emerging land use tool of industrial-mixed use zoning, using Los Angeles as a case study.
The intent of the industrial mixed-use zone, which permits non-industrial uses, to varying degrees of intensities, in otherwise industrial districts, is to protect central locations for industrial operations when market forces might otherwise price them out. On the one hand, the zone can impede industrial business displacement through offering protection to compatible lighter industrial uses in transitioning neighborhoods. In doing so, it aims to create a live/work urban district in which several planning agendas are met and balanced, providing for industrial employment alongside affordable housing and public realm improvements. On the other hand, without strict use definitions, mix requirements or consistent regulation, the industrial mixed-use zone risks both accelerating the land use conversion process, operating as residential and commercial upzoning, and gentrifying industrial districts toward more artisanal and boutique industrial operations.
In 2019, the Los Angeles Department of City Planning will rezone industrial land in Downtown Los Angeles under a new zoning classification: hybrid-industrial. Through an exploration of Los Angeles' industrial land use policies, a process tracing of the evolution of hybrid-industrial zoning, and a dissection of the zoning ordinance's text, this thesis demonstrates the trade-offs associated with a mixed-use district and the potential challenges and pitfalls of implementation.

Real estate investment is becoming increasingly international. Deregulation and integration of global capital markets, growth of emerging market economies, demographic trends in developed economies, and geopolitical and sociocultural changes the world over are presenting opportunities for international real estate investors in a fascinating, complex and interconnected market place. Latin America seems to be one of the last frontiers still unexplored by international real estate investors. Colombia in particular is making quiet and steady efforts to internationalize its economy and welcome Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Among the policy-makers' long-term goals, Colombia aspires to become one of the three most competitive countries in Latin America by the year 2032. International real estate investors need to adapt their tools and techniques to underwrite new and uncharted markets that present investment opportunities. This thesis proposes a comprehensive strategic framework for international real estate investments, by adapting from selected business academic literature and real estate industry practice different decision-making approaches. The purpose of the thesis is twofold. First, by proposing a strategic framework, the work intends to contribute to the development of strategic decision-making literature in international real estate investment. Second, by utilizing the strategic framework to study selected issues and variables that are deemed relevant or pertinent to the commercial real estate market in Bogota, it attempts to serve as a resource to international real estate investors interested in the market.

The idea of a pure-play property portfolio is simply to replicate the returns of a specified target real estate sector without any exposure to other sectors by taking an optimal mix of long and short positions in listed real estate securities, combined with bonds to de-lever the traded equity shares. The goal of this study was to explore the possibility of applying the pure portfolio methodology in Europe, similarly to the way it has been recently launched in the United States, by constructing various demonstration sets of country and sector indices for the major European real estate markets. We used data for the three-year period 2010-2012. We find that the pure-play methodology yields reasonable results for the European-wide office, retail, residential, industrial and multi-use indices. The all-sector country indices for the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden seem to relatively accurately reflect the underlying economic trends in each country, while the Dutch index produced exaggerated negative results during the sample period. The performance of the computed Eurozone and Other-Europe indices are in line with reasonable expectations, among other things mirroring the events in the single currency area during 2011. A number of country-specific sector indices were also constructed. For the UK, office, retail, residential, industrial and multi-use indices were estimated. For France, office, retail and multi-use indices were computed. For Germany and Sweden office and residential sector indices were calculated. While the results for the majority of the country-specific sector indices seem reasonable and reliable, some of them suffer from high volatility or negative autocorrelation. In summary, this study suggests that the currently available data on European REITs and other real estate investment companies may well enable the construction of a number of sector, country, as well as country-specific sector indices for the key European real estate markets.

This thesis will apply the past research and methodologies of Real Options to Tower 2 and Tower 3 of the World Trade Center redevelopment project in New York, NY. The qualitative component of the thesis investigates the history behind the stalled development of Towers 2 and 3 and examines a potential contingency that could have mitigated the market risk. The quantitative component builds upon that story and creates a hypothetical Real Options case as a framework for applying and valuing building use flexibility in a large-scale, politically charged, real estate development project. Through this demonstration, it is observed that applying Real Options "in" the World Trade Center Towers 2 and 3 projects minimizes losses in weaker markets and maximizes gains in stronger markets.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 has largely impacted the global economy by changing every aspect of our living environment with limited social and economic activities throughout 2020. This unprecedented economic downfall exposed real estate properties to high risk of default, pushing the CMBS loans delinquency rate to 10.32% in June 2020. As such an economic halt is likely to prevail, it is expected that the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) market would experience more distress in terms of debt service. Thus, it is imperative to overview the CMBS securitization process, the servicing structure, and the workout scenarios in case of loan default in order to understand the complexity of the CMBS structure and better prepare appropriate measures or strategies in response to current market landscape. By having a case study on 666 Fifth Avenue in New York, this paper will analyze one of the most high-profile properties that was transferred to special servicing to review strategies to resolve financial distress.

Abstract (sommario):
A real-time system is a system such that the correctness of operations depends not only on the logical results, but also on the time at which these results are available. A fundamental problem in designing real-time systems is to analyze response time of operations, which is defined as the time elapsed from the moment when the operation is requested to the moment when the operation is completed. Response time analysis is challenging due to the complex dynamics among operations. A common technique is to study response time under worst-case scenario. However, using worst-case response time may lead to the conservative real-time system designs. To improve the real-time system design, we analyze the non-worst-case response time of operations and apply these results in the design process. The main contribution of this thesis includes mathematical modeling of real-time systems, calculation of non-worst-case response time, and improved real-time system design. We perform analysis and design on three common types of real-time systems as the real-time computing system, real-time communication network, and real-time energy management. For the real-time computing systems, our non-worst-response time analysis leads a necessary and sufficient online schedulability test and a measure of robustness of real-time systems. For the real-time communication network, our non-worst-response time analysis improves the performance for the model predictive control design based on the real-time communication network. For the real-time energy management, we use the non-worst-case response time to check whether the micro-grid can operate independently from the main grid.

This thesis explores relationships between experiential retail and historic adaptive reuse, and develops an understanding of their mutual potentials. The emergence of e-commerce is pressuring traditional brick-and- mortar retail to focus on enhancing experiences irreplaceable by online shopping. Meanwhile, an adaptive reuse approach on historic structures carries forward the city's legend via story-telling. A space and a story make a place, with uniqueness, character, innovation, and sustainability. Between online and offline retail, physical space is the differentiator that activities take place and emotions are felt in person. I look beyond the boundary of asset types to study an experiential trend shared by hospitality, residence, office, and retail. The main difference between experiential and traditional retail is understanding customers' social needs as part of the experience. The socializing effects are partially reflected by social media posts, sharing about unique products, digitalized service, various activities beyond merely shopping, and special space. Historic redevelopment is centered around continuing the heritage and creating synergy. Adaptive reuse is a resourceful alternative to save historic buildings from demolition, but not to be confused with historic preservation. The success of adaptive reuse depends on the right creation of program, one that matches the history and activates the place by engaging users. Historic redevelopment conveys meanings and references to the past that enhance the experience of users. This synergy can be a powerful mechanism to create value in real estate. After examining 10 cases involving experiential retail and adaptive reuse, I see unique opportunities that match the space characteristics in experiential retail and historic buildings, especially in a mixed asset type. Experience is intensified by the collaboration of multiple programs, and strengthened by interacting with a unique historic story. With a theoretical framework summarized from case studies, I compose a practical "menu" of space revamps and program creations for developers to "order from". Based on a sample of approximately 2500 social media hashtags, I characterize unique retail experiences. Applying the menu, I make recommendations to redevelop LA's Bradbury Building, one of the oldest commercial landmarks in Downtown LA, to be a mixed-program experiential center.

Prevalent methodologies utilized by resort second home development professionals to quantify demand for future projects are identified and critiqued. The strengths of each model are synthesized in order to formulate an original, composite methodology for demand quantification with industry-wide applicability. This "best practices" synthesized model is then applied to a real world case study and back tested in an effort to gauge its accuracy. After analysis of its performance, modifications are made and an innovative method for forecasting absorption is added to its framework. The resulting product of this effort is the creation of the Comprehensive Resort Second Home Demand Forecasting Model.

Abstract (sommario):
La presente disertación presentan dos casos de estudio en los cuales se ha llevado a cabo una Evaluación Multi-Criterio Social (SMCE por sus siglas en inglés), además de las lecciones aprendidas a través de estas experiencias.El primer caso presenta el conflicto alrededor de la construcción de un complejo industrial (una planta reductora de aluminio y sus infraestructuras asociadas) en la Patagonia Chilena. Aquí, se analizan las ventajas de una SMCE comparada con los sistemas de Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental (EIA) comúnmente utilizados en el marco de las decisiones públicas. Se propone por tanto, la SMCE con el fin de resolver algunos de los inconvenientes ampliamente reconocidos de los EIAs.
Luego, se exploran los problemas y conflictos alrededor de la construcción de parques eólicos, y se analizan los principales mecanismos para su implementación. Cabe destacar que existen diferentes niveles y dimensiones de aceptación social de tales infraestructuras: socio-política, de mercado y comunitaria. En esta disertación se sostiene que los mecanismos de mercado no son suficientes para la implementación de políticas públicas, y que la SMCE provee un marco adecuado para tratar la aceptación (o rechazo) de la comunidad local; es decir, para atender los aspectos relacionados con la justicia en términos distributivos y de proceso, y con la confianza a escala local.
Finalmente, se desarrollan algunas ideas y lecciones aprendidas desde la aplicación práctica de metodologías participativas en combinación con la estructura del análisis multi-criterio, y se delinean algunas áreas para la investigación futura.
The following dissertation presents two case studies in which I have applied Social Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE), and also presents some learned lessons from these experiences.
The first case presents a conflict around the construction of an industrial complex (an aluminium smelter plant and its associated infrastructures) in the Chilean Patagonia. Here, I analyse the advantages of SMCE compared with the Environmental Impact Assessment systems (EIAS) commonly used in public decision-making. I propose the former in order to overcome some recognized pitfalls of the last.
Then, I explore the problems and conflicts around the construction of windfarms, and I analyse the main mechanisms aimed at their implementation. There exist different levels and dimensions of social acceptance of windfarms: socio-political, market and social acceptance. I argue that market-based mechanisms are not enough for public policy implementation, and that SMCE is appropriate so as to deal with community acceptance; that is, to deal with issues related to distributional justice, procedural justice and trust at local level.
Finally, I develop some ideas and learned lessons from the practical application of participatory approaches in combination with a multi-criteria analysis structure, and I delineate some areas and issues for further research.

Anim-Odame, Wilfred Kwabena. "Residential real estate investment in emerging economies : the case of Ghana". Thesis, City University London, 2008. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/8601/.
Abstract (sommario):
Although it remains small compared with advanced economies, in Ghana there is a growing residential stock which constitutes the basis of an emergent real estate investment market. Much of the recently constructed stock is income-producing rented accommodation, and falls in the formal sector of the market - where sale and leasing transactions are systematically documented in the records of the Ghana Land Valuation Board. The research presented in this thesis makes several contributions to knowledge and understanding of residential real estate markets in Ghana. First, and most fundamentally, it demonstrates that it is feasible to construct technically robust indicators of residential market performance from the records held by state agencies, through the construction of hedonic models which suggest processes of price determination are consistent with those found in other countries. Time series produced from these models, running from 1992 to 2007, document for the first time trends in capital values, rental values and investment returns for a substantial part of the Ghanaian residential market. This thesis also explores practical applications of the newly created residential performance indices. The current research examines the differentials in price determination and performance across the main submarkets of the Accra-Tema conurbation, the dynamics of change in market prices over time against economic and financial indicators, and the returns achieved on residential investment compared with Ghanaian equities and Treasury Bills. The results demonstrate that the residential market has seen strong rental and capital appreciation over the past fifteen years, yielding investment returns ahead of the high rate of general inflation. Compared with other Ghanaian asset classes, residential real estate shows both a rate of return and a level of risk which sit between those on fixed income and equities investments, in line with fundamental theory and experience in other countries. As in other countries, residential real estate returns show low correlations with those on equity and fixed income investments, suggesting a strong case for real estate in a multi-asset portfolio. Beyond the Ghanaian market, this thesis suggests the process of constructing residential indices from records held by state land registration and taxation authority may be replicable in other African countries where there are similar systems of land administration and management, provided that the task of data assembly and validation is feasible.

Abstract (sommario):
As the transportation sector fully integrates information technology, transit agencies face decisions that expose them to new technologies, relationships and risks. Accompanying a rise in transit-related web and mobile applications, a set of competing real-time transit data standards from both public and private organizations have emerged. The purpose of this research is to understand the standard-setting processes for these data standards and the forces that move the transit industry towards the widespread adoption of a data standard. This project will analyze through case studies and interviews with members of standard-setting organizations the development of three real-time transit data standards: (1) the development of the General Transit Feed Specification Realtime (GTFS-realtime), (2) the Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI), and (3) Transit Communications Interface Profiles (TCIP). The expected outcome of this research is an assessment of federal policy on standards development as well as an analysis of current and future trends in this sector—both technical and institutional. The results will inform federal transit policy and future action in standards-setting and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) requirements, identifying the potential catalysts that will increase the effectiveness of federal- and agency-level programs.

Abstract (sommario):
With accumulation of sovereign debt in many large OECD countries it seems that attention is heightened on how to manage public resources more effectively. High levels of sovereign debt are partly related to the aftermath of the latest financial crisis, where resolution for many big economies was to intervene and use public resources to put an end to the expansion of the crisis. Public real estate is one of those resources, which’s efficient management has high importance on general public sector efficacy. It seems that governments around the world have a way to go toward efficiency in public real estate management. There seem to be rather wide differences in management practices and quality. This thesis is an attempt to quantify some choices Estonian government could take in terms of its public real estate management. Four different scenarios are compared and Monte Carlo Simulation tool is used for that purpose. Two of the scenarios are related to private sector involvement and two are not. Privatization of public assets does not only mean cashing out for the government. It has wider consequences by introducing market forces where they weren’t before. One of the most important points of interest in this thesis is what effect can market forces and change in incentives have on public real estate management. There can be both, positive and negative effects, but which ones would prevail? The model built during the process of the thesis tries to measure those effects with aggregate net present value and its volatility by looking at 30 years ahead. Simulation analyses is used to vary input variables in the range that seems to be supported by the observations made in the literature and in some cases, where data is not available, also according to more subjective view that of the author’s. As input and their characteristics are different for scenarios, it is of interest to document how do the main outputs, mean NPV and its volatility, vary along with inputs.

As a result of the high degree of change, interdependence and uncertainty of the current business scenario, companies of all industry sectors are facing new challenges associated to the need of adaptation and innovation. This thesis intends to point out that the Adaptive Planning represents an answer for management problems associated to turbulent environments, and the Real Options Theory is a significant managerial instrument to increase the efficiency of strategic decisions. This study aims at describing and analyzing the evolution of the planning approach adopted at Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica S.A. - Embraer according to the Adaptive Planning principles and to propose the adoption of the Real Options Theory on its decision-making process. It consists of an investigation of the post-privatization phase of Embraer s planning evolution and the economic investment evaluation tools currently used at the Company. The thesis ends with the proposal of few applications for the real options method at Embraer, which can be introduced in its planning process.

The Ministry of Finance, intending to improve the cash flow flexibility of business, has aggressively revised the regulations of real estate securitization. By issuing the real-estate-backed deposits, the business who owns the real estate with regular cash flow can acquire the future cash flow at one time, which will substantially enhance the flexibility of cash flow management. By introducing the real estate securitization, the government intends to adjust the real estate investment from development orientation to management orientation. Also, the new law provides the individual investor a good opportunity to join the real estate investment. The real estate value will increase with the professional development and management. The Ministry of Finance has referenced the U.S. REIT and Japan Special Purpose Trust to draft the regulations of Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and the Real Estate Asset Trust (REAT). REAT are usually designed with high hurdle on the investment unit while generating stable income. Institutional investors are expected to be the major player. On the other hand, REIT generates not only dividends, but also capital gain. Investors are allowed to join the market with small amount of money. Individual investors are expected to be the major player in this market. This study is focusing on the practical side of the domestic real estate securitization. I examined the recent cases, by analyzing the motive, structure, purpose, and accounting practice of each case, and recognize the possible obstacle or benefit during the securitization process.

Master degree Dissertation Civil EngineeringO presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo, o estudo de fatores formadores de valor em frações de edifícios multifamiliares na cidade de Vila Real e no setor imobiliário, irão ser analisados quais os fatores geradores de valor tidos em conta pelos promotores/ construtores e por aqueles que compram / alugam (utilizadores), aquando de processo de avaliação dessas frações. Será também apresentada uma crítica ao estado em que o valor imobiliário para habitação na cidade de Vila Real se encontra na atualidade e qual a sua tendência. A análise dos fatores geradores de valor será efetuada através de inquéritos direcionados,numaprimeirafase, a indivíduos com conhecimento na área do imobiliário, promotores, construtores e agentes imobiliários, e numa segunda fase,direcionados aos utilizadores. Os resultados da análise destes inquéritos são de extrema importância uma vez que concedem uma perspetiva sobre como o mercado imobiliário valoriza estas habitações bem como qual foi a sua evolução entre 2004 e 2018 após comparação dos dados recolhidos em 2004. Estes inquéritos permitiramainda a criação de uma ficha de levantamento das características de habitações para posterior auxiliar no relatório de avaliação de imóveis adequados a esses fatores. Pretende-se que este relatório contenha todos os dados necessários para uma correta avaliação de habitações em Vila Real e obter um valor provável de transação mais próximo do real. De seguida, a ficha de levantamento é aplicadaa um caso de estudo, a avaliação de uma fração de habitação multifamiliar, utilizando uma base de dados de 101 frações de habitação similares.Aplica-se o método comparativo para determinar o valor possível de transação da fração do caso de estudo, após isto, aplica-se uma análise através de MachineLearning para observar se os valores obtidossão mais próximos dos valores de venda reais.
The main objective of this work is the study of value-forming factors ofdwellings on multifamily buildings in the city of Vila Real and in the real estate sector, which will analyse the value-generating factors taken into account by the promoters / builders and those who purchase / lease (users), during the evaluation process of these fractions. It will also be presented a critique of the state in which the real estate value for housing in the city of Vila Real is nowadays and what it's tendency. The analysis of the factors that generate value will be carried out through surveys that are initially directed to individuals with knowledge in real estate, promoters, builders and real estate agents, and secondly to users. The results of the analysis of these surveys are extremely important as they give a perspective on how the housing market values these dwellings and how they evolved between 2004 and 2018 after comparing the data collected in 2004. These surveys also allow the creation of a housing characteristics survey to assist in the assessment report of real estate evaluation.It is intended that this report contains all the necessary data for a correct valuation of dwellings in Vila Real and obtain a probable value of transaction closer to the real. Next, the survey sheet is applied to a case study, the evaluation of a dwellingon multifamily housing, using a database of 101 similar dwellings. The comparative method is applied to determine the possible transaction value of the case study fraction, after which, an analysis is applied through Machine Learning to observe if the values obtained are closer to the actual sales figures.
