Abstract Corporate governance can have an effect on the organizational behavior of real estate investment trusts (REITs). We examine the moderating effects of corporate governance on Asia REITs' performance. We find significant corporate governance moderating effects on the performance of Asian REITs. Corporate governance could either act as a positive or a negative moderator that could enhance and accelerate performance, return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and REIT return, and reduce agency costs in Asian REITs. The findings imply that there is a need for transformation and reform in REIT corporate governance. The findings contribute towards Asian REITs' public policy development as REIT corporate governance is found to complement the institutional legal setting and externally managed REITs in Asia. Regulatory bodies of Asian REITs should enforce mandatory and absolute stringent corporate governance regulations on REITs.

Rangan Gupta, H. Marfatia
Abstract In this paper, we estimate a qualitative vector autoregression (Qual VAR) model, in which we combine the binary information of quantitative easing (QE) announcements with an otherwise standard VAR model that includes U.S. and emerging market real estate investment trust (REIT) returns. The Qual VAR uncovers the Federal Reserve's latent, unobservable propensity for QE and generates impulse responses for the emerging market REIT returns. The results show that QE has (strong) positively significant, but short-lived, effects on the returns of emerging market REITs.

Abstract More than 30 countries have introduced real estate investment trusts (REITs). One main objective is to attract foreign investors and improve the liquidity of the respective listed property sector. We investigate whether the introduction of REITs meets this objective by using the South African listed property sector as a laboratory. In particular, we employ panel data to investigate whether converting to REITs improved the liquidity of listed South African property firms through foreign investments. We find that foreign investor trading after the introduction of REITs has a significantly positive impact on activity measures such as turnover and trading volume. On the other hand, the significantly negative impact of foreign investor trading on friction measures such as bid-ask spread and Amihud's (2002) illiquidity measure, which was prevalent in the pre-REIT period, disappears once REITs were introduced. Thus, the introduction of REITs eliminated the impact of foreign investments on the depth and ...

Abstract Drilling into data to understand property as a financial investment is one of the primary considerations of real estate research. This paper is designed to shed light on some of the newer and more innovative studies by highlighting the use qualitative data and content analysis throughout the literature to enhance our understanding of property. Particular attention is placed on linguistics research including readability metrics, semantic analysis, and sentiment analysis. Ocular tracking is also addressed as a way to evaluate unstructured forms of data. These methods are rigorous enough to be used on their own or as supplements to conventional pricing models, subject to the requirements of the research.
