URBAN ECONOMICS AT SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
Syracuse University
has a long tradition of emphasis in urban, regional and real
estate economics. Collectively, our faculty provide one of the
strongest and most active research groups in these areas.
One of our faculty currently serves as Co-Editor of the
Journal of Urban Economics.
A recent ranking of Ph.D. programs in economics
(available at www.econphd.net)
places the Syracuse urban group 3rd in both the U.S.
and the world. In addition, we have at least one faculty member
serving on the editorial boards of every major academic journal
in the fields of urban, regional, and real estate.
This includes Journal of Housing Economics, Journal of
Housing Research, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics,
Real Estate Economics, and Regional Science and Urban
Economics. Our faculty have published extensively in these
journals and have also placed urban/real estate papers in major
general journals such as the Review of Economics and
Statistics, the Quarterly Journal of Economics,
and the American Economic Review.
Our focus and depth allows us to offer two semester-long Ph.D.
courses in urban economics and related areas. Together, these
courses cover a wide range of topics. In contrast, most Ph.D.
programs in economics do not offer any courses in urban
economics and related areas, or at most only one.
The research interests of our current faculty span nearly all
areas of urban, regional, and real estate economics. This
includes “core†topics in the field as well as areas that spill
into related areas of public economics, labor economics,
industrial organization, international trade, and finance.
Recent Ph.D. graduates of our program with dissertations in the
urban/real estate area have obtained positions at the
University
of Toronto,
University
of Connecticut,
Cornell
University,
Communications
University in South Korea, The Department of Housing and Urban
Development, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Office of Federal
Housing Enterprise Oversight, and the Federal Reserve Banks of
Boston and Atlanta.
