This study applied the Fama–French three-factor model to model the returns of 33 US publicly traded lodging real estate investment trusts over a 20-year period. Results indicated that lodging real estate investment trusts that were significantly correlated with all the three factors had the greatest number of years in the market and the highest mean market capitalization, while those that were not significantly correlated with any of the three factors existed in the market for shorter periods and had the lowest mean market capitalization. Findings also indicated that the higher the market capitalization of real estate investment trusts, the more exposure they faced in the market. Results also suggest that the longer lodging real estate investment trusts existed in the marketplace, the greater their exposure to market risk. Overall, empirical results of this research are reasonably consistent with the Fama–French three-factor model as there is evidence of market, size, and book-to-value factors in the lodging real estate investment trusts market.

Chinese outward investment in real estate (FDIRE) has increased tremendously in recent years. However, it has attracted little attention in the literature. This study aims to assess the asymmetric impact of institutional quality on Chinese outward FDIRE using an extended gravity model with a real estate institutional factor. Using the unique dataset of Chinese outward real estate investment collected from Real Capital Analytics, we identify the main determinants of China’s outward FDIRE. The results show that the established gravity model and real estate institutional factor together explain China’s outward FDIRE. Specifically, market size and cultural proximity have a positive influence on the FDIRE outflows from China. In addition, institutional factor, namely real estate transparency, has an acute impact on China’s outward FDIRE, whilst it is conditional on the market size of and the economic growth speed of a country, highlighting an asymmetric effect of institutional quality on Chinese outward FDIRE. The implications of the findings have also been discussed.

If we want securitization to become one of the main channels to attract funding in leasing activity, as the Bank of Russia predicts, one needs to revise some stereotypes. Relying on foreign and domestic research, the author gives a critical assessment of the postulate of the need for uniformity of securitized assets; proves that real estate, contrary to the traditional approach, rather than equipment and transport, prevails in securitization transactions, and explains why this happens. The article presents a new perspective on the behavior of issu- ers concerning the timing of securities circulation; considers feasibility approach to the calculation of variable character of leverage in leasing; explains pro and contra of evaluating the leasing market based on the volume of the portfolio of contracts; reveals the validity of ratings of bonds issued in the course of secu- ritization of leasing assets.

How to provide for full employment and equitable distribution of incomes and wealth are the keenest issues of the U.S. society. The Democratic and the Republican Parties have elaborated opposing views on economic policy, though both parties are certain that the problems may be resolved through the reform of the federal tax and budget systems. Globalization demands to increase incentives for labor and enterprise activity and for savings to secure proper investment rate. Tax rates for labor and enterprise incomes are to be low, but tax rates for consumption, real estate and land should be progressive.
