Much of my research focuses on the markets for real assets such as housing and other types of real estate, and art and other collectibles. A substantial part of my recent research output is concerned with modeling and empirically analyzing the heterogeneity between participants in markets for real assets. In other work, I have studied the long-run returns to both residential real estate and collectibles, and the drawbacks of standard return measurement methods in these markets. I am also interested in the role of intermediaries in real asset markets, in particular with respect to the information that they provide to market participants.
