Building Cycles. Growth and instability

Notes:

Deals with the property / building cycle as a macroeconomic concept, 'exploring why cycles occur and how they affect the behaviour of real estate markets' and the wider economy. Undertakes this 'through a theoretical review and a comparative historical analysis of UK and US national data stretching back to the start of the nineteenth century, together with a case study of the development of London since the start of the eighteenth century'. Has sections: 'Introduction - a historical approach'; 'Growth and cycles - the economic debate'; 'The nature of building cycles'; 'Building investment and economic growth'; 'Building investment and urban development'; 'Case study - the City of London office market' [from c19th century]; 'A simulation model of the building cycle'; 'Property cycles in global investment markets'; 'Understanding the building cycle'
