Do European investors have to invest into Asian real estate in order to protect themselves against the current global market woes ? 01/01/2008 - 31/12/2009

Abstract

Investors could buy more 'Asian' property assets to protect themselves against the current financial crisis in the US. We will present a first insight into how Asian property stocks are correlated to other asset classes in both the Asian and European markets. The correlation patterns (return in relation to risk) will be examined through locally-based property databases (Asian Development Bank). Do Asian property stocks carry a higher risk?

      New Views on Firms' Investment and Finance decisions. 01/06/2001 - 31/05/2002

      Abstract

      The proposed research paper aims at distinguishing and testing the importance of (alternative kinds and measures of) uncertainty on firms' fixed investment decisions for the Belgian economy, by applying the recent theories of investment under uncertainty and the real option approach (such as summarized e.g. in Dixit & Pindycki (1994) using a micro-economic panel data approach. As such, this research extends recent former research along these very lines executed by (members of) the proposed research team that focused on an aggregate macro-economic approach for 14 European countries, including Belgium, to firm-level analysis for the Belgian case.
