Jeffrey Cohen Visiting Researcher at ZEW

Professor Jeffrey Cohen was a visiting researcher in ZEW’s Research Department “International Finance and Financial Markets” from 9 to 19 July 2019. He is an associate professor at the School of Business at the University of Connecticut, USA. His research focuses on real estate economics, housing prices and spatial econometrics.

During his visit of ZEW and the University of Mannheim, he worked with ZEW researcher Dr. Carolin Schmidt on a new joint research project, which deals with the question of whether a collapse of the infrastructure in Germany leads to a relocation of companies and thus affects rent prices of commercially used real estate. In a ZEW Research Seminar, Jeffrey Cohen presented his results on the impact of the continuation of air services in Berlin-Tegel on housing prices, due to the delayed opening of the airport Berlin-Brandenburg.
