Invest Globally, Compare Locally? Nationalization and Internationalization of Real Estate Valuation Standards Since the 1970s. (F04 [B07])

• Subject Area: Economic and Social History
• Term: from 2018 to 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 317664947

This subproject is investigating the rise, the implementation, and the consequences of standards for the valuation of real estate in Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany from 1970 to circa 1995. It considers valuation standards to be the result of debates among the relevant communities of practice about the appropriateness of different kinds of practices of comparing. The central hypothesis is that the differences between Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany in this regard had considerable consequences for both the transparency and the volatility of their respective real estate markets.
