Sell-Offs of U.S. Real Estate: The Effect of Domestic versus Foreign Buyers on Shareholder Wealth

Large foreign acquisitions of U.S. real estate always seem to generate considerable public concern. Most recently the reaction has been to Japanese purchases, but similar reactions occurred to Arab petro-dollar purchases in the early 1970s. This study examines the impact of the buyer's nationality on the change in the wealth of the selling firm's shareholders for voluntary sell-offs of U.S. real estate. In general, this study indicates that voluntary sell-offs of real estate assets result in a significant increase in the wealth of the selling firm's shareholders. However, the change in the wealth of the selling firm's shareholders for U.S. buyers was not significantly different from that for non-U.S. buyers. Since no advance is indicated for foreign buyers over domestic buyers, laws or regulations hindering the foreign acquisition of U.S. real estate cannot be supported. The assumption of a "non-level playing field" for U.S. real estate investors who bid against foreign firms for U.S. real estate assets is not confirmed.

How to guide your PH.D. students

This editorial discusses the issues and challenges of Ph.D. student supervision. Several academic colleagues with much experience in Ph.D. supervision were asked to contribute their thoughts on this important task. We present the tasks of supervision, including how these may be adapted depending on student characteristics such as extent of managerial experience. Then we explore the challenges faced by Ph.D. students, and discuss how these can be addressed. Following that, we examine the role of the supervisor in helping build student capabilities in publishing and teaching. Furthermore, we address the benefits of taking on supervisory responsibility. In the conclusion, the co-authors of this editorial provide retrospectives on their own experiences as Ph.D. supervisors.
