The Cornell Real Estate Review aims to provide a conduit for scholars, professional practitioners, and students to express ideas, concepts and research findings from all fields related to the real estate profession. The Review focuses on the interdisciplinary nature of real estate by blending both informative practical papers with application based academic research across the breadth of design, business, economics, engineering, finance, law, planning, development, marketing and property management.
The CRER is a student edited and managed publication with the support of the Cornell Program in Real Estate and the Cornell Real Estate Council. Visit the CRER website for more information.
