The primary objective of this course is to equip students with theoretical insights and practical knowledge about urban economic processes and the dynamics of real estate markets within institutional frameworks. By delving into the intricate interplay between economic forces and regulatory landscapes, students will understand the determinants of urban structure, land use patterns, and the economic ramifications of housing market regulations. Through empirical analysis and case studies, students will explore topics such as local public finance, housing demandsupply dynamics, real estate cycles, the role of mortgage financing, housing policies, and climate change. This course integrates cutting-edge economic theories and empirical research to analyze the fundamental aspects of real estate markets. Emphasis is placed on comprehending the urban spatial structure, regulatory policies shaping cities, and the ability to forecast supply and demand dynamics. With a focus on Western Europe (including Switzerland) and the United States, students will gain a nuanced understanding of how different regulatory environments influence urban economic dynamics globally.
