GREENSBORO, NC – The University of North Carolina at Greensboro ranked among the best real estate research institutions in the world based on the frequent appearance of UNCG researchers in nine top-tier academic publications, according to findings published in the Journal of Real Estate Research.
UNCG ranked No. 34 in a global listing of universities based on appearances from 1990 through 2006. The only other North Carolina university represented was UNC-Chapel Hill at No. 37.
When looking at three major publications in the field – Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, Journal of Real Estate Research, and Real Estate Economics – UNCG’s global ranking was No. 12. UNC-Chapel Hill was ranked No. 27.
In the same study, two professors in UNCG’s Bryan School of Business and Economics were listed among the best real estate researchers based on the frequency of their publication in the journals.
Dr. G. Donald Jud, who serves as a research fellow in the Center for Business and Economic Research, and Dr. Daniel Winkler were ranked No. 7 and No. 27, respectively, by the study’s authors. Winkler is a professor in the Department of Accounting and Finance and Jud is retired.
The paper, titled “The Internationalization of Real Estate Research,” appeared in the Vo1. 30, No. 1, 2008 edition of the Journal of Real Estate Research.
