Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract We examine how the shift to working from home (WFH) differentially affected urban and suburban commercial real estate (CRE) prices in U.S. cities. Using CRE transaction data from 2017 to 2023, we document significant suburban price appreciation relative to urban prices beginning in 2021. This relative appreciation results in the overall CRE suburban price discount shrinking from 9% to zero by 2023. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that relative suburban price appreciation is concentrated in cities with a high proportion of jobs amenable to WFH. Office real estate displays the most significant shift in the suburban price discount—previously stable at 20%, the discount shrinks to zero by 2021 and trends toward a suburban price premium by 2023. These findings support the hypothesis that the transition to WFH reorganized the demand for commercial real estate assets with respect to urban and suburban locations within cities and that this effect is likely not temporary.
