Our paper makes two empirical contributions on REITs' asset pricing over three sequential and mutually exclusive time periods. The first yields the beta estimates of (i) assets, (ii) growth options and (iii) assets-in-place, embedded in the valuations of REITs. We develop a new approach to...

We examine empirically cross-fertilization in the productivity growth of banks between a state and its neighboring and non-neighboring states before (1971-1977) and during (1982-1995) the interstate multibank holding company (IMBHC) deregulations, upon which, cross-border bank M&As, mainly among...

We incorporate arguments from the Tiebout model into the regulatory competition equilibrium and study cross-fertilization in the productivity growth of banks between those in a state and others in this state's neighboring states. Empirically, we focus on two time periods: before (i.e.,...

Are REITs income stocks, only? Following Myers (1977) and Bernardo et al. (2007), we examine empirically REITs' unlevered betas, betas of growth options, betas of assets-in-lace and the difference between the latter two in detail for 1983-2012, and also for three sequential, distinct, than those...
