Beijing Delegation Visits Real Estate Program

In June, a delegation from Beijing’s Ministry of Land and Resources along with Professor Lou Jianbo of the Center for Real Estate Law at Beijing University, visited the School of Business to learn more about the Real Estate program's activities and to discuss areas of potential cooperation. Professors Morris Davis and Steve Malpezzi discussed real estate and land pricing topics with the group. 

The connection with the Ministry began last fall, when Senior Lecturer Emeritus Rod Matthews made a presentation and discussed a recent article by Steve Malpezzi on price issues of real estate.  During the 2007 spring semester, Professor Matthews conducted weekly internet video sessions with Beijing University. Matthews will travel to Beijing in October to meet again with the Ministry.
