A comparison of green and conventional buildings in selected office nodes in Gauteng province, South Africa
This study investigates the economic characteristics of green and conventional office buildings in selected nodes in Gauteng Province in South Africa. We estimated the gross rent, net rent and operating cost per square meter elasticities using hedonic regression models. Contrary to international research, which points to tenants willing to pay rent premiums and enjoy cost savings for green, compared to conventional buildings, our results show tha…
Examination of the dynamics of house prices in urban Ghana
The paper examines the main macroeconomic determinants of house price movements in Accra, the capital of Ghana using the VECM. The results show that the main drivers of price movements in the housing market in Accra are GDP growth, unemployment and interest rates, and there is no long-term relationship between these significant variables and house prices in the country. Any short-term disequilibrium is not able to correct itself over the long-ter…

Price and rental differentials in gated versus non-gated communities
Gated communities have become part of a global lifestyle for most residents. The study extends the literature on this global phenomenon by investigating the impact of gated developments on property values and rents using Accra, Ghana, as our study area. Applying a propensity-score matching technique to 2620 housing transactions and 811 rental units, our results reveal that houses in gated communities sell at 42% and 48% more than non-gated proper…
Public choice theory and rental housing
This paper extends both the literature on rental housing in Ghana and the global literature on the critique of public choice analyses in terms of focus, methods and positioning. It argues that, contrary to the assumption that all housing policy changes are driven by internal national processes, in the case of Ghana at least, neither tenants (through their use of their greater numbers) nor landlords (through the use of their stronger financial and…

Essential Ingredients of a Good Research Proposal for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students in the Social Sciences
As part of the requirements for the award of degrees in higher education institutions, students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels normally carry out research, which they report in the form of dissertations or theses. The research journey commences with the selection of a research topic and the preparation of a proposal on the selected topic. Experience has shown that students tend to encounter difficulties in writing research proposals for…
A Descriptive Assessment of Higher Education Access, Participation, Equity, and Disparity in Ghana
Since independence, Ghana has comparatively distinguished itself among many Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries in its educational developments. Tertiary education in Ghana over the past decade has witnessed tremendous growth in various frontages-increased access and participation, relative expansion of academic facilities, a growing private sector, and most importantly, a transformative policy environment. Despite these overwhelming developments…
