Abstract
Real estate has evolved into a unique discipline, separate and distinct from its finance and economics-based origins. Our 2008 survey of U.S. academic members of the Financial Management Association reveals that only 8% of respondents claim a real estate expertise, 6.9% report six or more academic real estate publications in the prior ten years, and only a third have real estate faculty in their departments. These numbers are significantly lower than similar survey results of 15 years ago. Of the 204 AACSB tenure-track finance faculty respondents that likely influence the rank and tenure decisions of real estate faculty within their departments, only half claim to be familiar with the 1st tier real estate academic journals. As the real estate discipline continues to evolve, university administrators should be cognizant of the decreasing familiarity, reliability, and relevance of finance faculty perceptions of academic real estate journal quality.
