Over the past 40 years or so I have written a number of articles for professional and academic audiences on a range of topics. I have also written a number of white papers and proprietary research reports, most of which have not been in the public domain. In order to help advance the real estate discipline, I am making selected examples of my research --both previous and on-going-- accessible through my website. Where appropriate, I am organizing it by category. You can directly access some of my retail research and publications in Retail Watch or pick them out of the list below. You can access most of the articles not hyperlinked through traditional library resources.

In Fall 1999, I was invited to take over the Financial Views article series for the Appraisal Journal. Time has certainly flown by and we are now in the 18th year of writing this quarterly article. The objective of this assemblage is to help you look back and pick up on some of the "lessons learned" by tracking what has happened in the market over time. The articles have drawn from a combination of sources including an extensive review of the published articles, primary surveys, proprietary analysis, and a bit of experience and judgment. I hope you agree that we have been able to stay up with the current market and, at times, get out ahead of the curve. Please Contact Me directly if you have any suggestions or questions.
