如果不動產投資與一般的投資學討論，在基本觀念並沒有重大的差異，那麼任買一本「投資分析」（Investment Analysis）的書，將內文中股票、債券等金融商品的字眼，直接替換成「不動產」不就可以了？本書架構在以「（價值 VS. 價格的）評價」為各種不動產投資決策核心的概念下，書標的「分析」著重在「組成不動產市場結構的價量」與其影響因素等資訊的解讀。本書的特色如下：清楚的理論架構：透過每章的樹狀結構圖，以及各標題（與關鍵字）的指引，呼應每章結束的「重點彙整與學習地圖的提醒」。理論與實務的密切結合：具體展現在下列三個設計：一、對各篇共同寫作結構的設定目標之一，提供相關課題的最新發展趨勢。二、納入「翻轉教學」的新興觀念，以相關（政府或財經新聞）網站的發布資訊為印證理論的基礎。三、將課後作業「親自動手做」分為兩類，PART I 為相關職涯的考試，並提供歷屆命題趨勢的提醒與對應策略的建議；PART II 則提供相關數據的基本敘述統計分析與趨勢繪圖的解讀，並搭配實務新聞與理論研究等驗證，以作為更深度的思考訓練。適用課程︰不動產財務、不動產投資、不動產市場分析。適用對象︰大學部與研究所學生、業界等對不動產分析領域有興趣進修者。
The balance of the world economy is shifting away from the established economies of Europe, Japan, and the USA, towards the emerging economies of Asia, especially India and China. With contributions from some of the world's leading growth theorists, this book analyses the long-term process of structural change and productivity growth across the world from a unique comparative perspective. Ongoing research from the World KLEMS Initiative is used to comparatively study new sources of growth - including the role of investment in intangible assets, human capital, technology catch-up, and trade in global value chains. This book provides comparisons of industries and economies that are key to analysing the impacts of international trade and investment. This makes it an ideal read for academics and students interested in understanding current patterns of economic growth. It will also be of value to professionals with an interest in the drivers of economic growth and crisis.
