It combines theory, technique, real-life cases, and practical examples, so that in the end the student is able to:read and understand the majority of RE papers published in peer-reviewed journals make sense of the RE market (or markets)contribute positively to the preparation of economic analyses of RE assets and markets soon after joining any company or other organization involved in RE investing, appraisal, management, policy, or research.
