The hidden cost of uncertainty
This study examines how economic and political policy uncertainty influences industrial land development delays, focusing on Shanghai, a city with a highly decentralized land market and frequent institutional innovations. The analysis adopts the real option framework to treat vacant land as an option to develop. Policy uncertainty is measured over a continuous period and classified into economic policy uncertainty (EPU) at the national level and …

Institutional innovations from state-dominated to market-oriented
Non-linear effects of developer obligation on property prices

Determining Optimal Building Height
The paper examines how building height is determined in the absence of building height regulatory restrictions. A model is developed for determining optimal height using simple neo-classical economic analysis; this is then tested using empirical data from Hong Kong. The results show that the observed building heights are consistent with the optimal height predicted by the model. In addition, it was also found that the point of optimality varied p…
