Rays of Research: Morris Davis

Last week, Morris A. Davis, associate professor of real estate and urban land economics at the Wisconsin School of Business, presented a summary of his ground-breaking research into the relationship between land and housing prices during the faculty seminar series: Rays of Research. As an often-cited expert on housing and its impact on the macro economy, his work on measuring and studying the determinants of land and housing prices is a particularly illuminating lens through which to look back at the housing crisis.
