1 The Finance and Real Estate Publications of Real Estate Editorial Board Members Charles F. Beauchamp,* William G. Hardin III,** Matthew Hill,*** and Kartono Liano**** Abstract The publication records in finance and real estate journals of editorial board members of the top three business-oriented real estate journals Real Estate Economics, Journal of Real Estate Research, and Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics are evaluated to discern the relative importance of both types of publication outlets in determining research excellence for real estate researchers. The temporal distribution of these publications is also assessed. Findings show that the overwhelming majority of board member publications are in real estate journals with a trend toward publishing primarily in real estate journals and that publication in finance journals is not a prerequisite for being designated a board member of a top real estate journal. The finance publications of real estate editorial board members are in premier finance journals, however, which implies a concurrent high level of quality on all real estate research. These findings support the argument that real estate should be viewed as a separate business discipline and that real estate specific research is highly rewarded within part of the academic community. The real estate discipline has made substantial progress in developing a research foundation focused on topics of interest to real estate academics and industry constituency groups. The development and expansion of journals such as Real Estate Economics, Journal of Real Estate Research, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management, and others over the last two decades is testament to the demand for real estate specific research and the creation of publication outlets to provide a supply of rigorous analysis. As Hardin, Liano, and Chan (2006) point out, the top ranked real estate journals are the source of the majority of the cited works in real estate journals and are the outlets that generate the citations of real estate articles even when real estate articles are published in other journals. In essence, the real estate discipline has developed both core and broad groups of publication outlets that focus primarily on real estate issues. A number of recent articles evaluate the research topics of interest for the real estate discipline (Dombrow and Turnbull, 2004), rank individual and institutional research productivity in the discipline (Dombrow and Turnbull, 2000 and 2002; Urbancic, 2004; Hardin, Liano, and Chan, 2006; and Urbancic, 2007) and determine which * Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN or cbeaucha@mtsu.edu. ** Florida International University, Miami, FL or hardinw@fiu.edu. *** University of Arkansas Fort Smith, Fort Smith, AR or mhill@uafortsmith.edu. **** Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS or kliano@cobilan.msstate.edu. 23

2 24 Journal of Real Estate Literature articles and authors get cited within the real estate discipline (Redman, Manakyan, and Tanner, 1998 and 1999; and Hardin, Liano, and Chan, 2006). In an analysis of the citation patterns of papers published in the top three academic business real estate journals, Hardin, Liano, and Chan show that the majority of real estate citations for high impact real estate research are in real estate journals. They also show that even influential real estate articles published in finance, economics, and other related journals are primarily cited in the core and broad real estate journals. A question of interest is then whether real estate academics must necessarily publish in non-real estate journals to be recognized as having a research background sufficient for selection to a top real estate journal editorial board or recognition as a top scholar. A related second question of interest is whether the distribution of editorial board member appearances in finance and real estate journals has changed over time with the advent of additional real estate publications. Since selection to the editorial board of a top real estate journal is recognition of research influence and connotes research excellence, the overall distribution of publications by leading members of the real estate discipline between finance and real estate is of interest. Two recent studies look at real estate editorial board membership to rank institutions and influential journals. Urbancic (2004) ranks the research reputation of institutions based on real estate editorial board memberships. Hardin, Beauchamp, Liano, and Hill (2006) use the same cohort group to evaluate which real estate journals are influential in the discipline and to create benchmarks for research excellence. The present study extends this recent research by evaluating the finance and real estate publications of editorial board members. The need to be highly published in finance journals for selection to membership on a real estate editorial board is assessed as is the distribution of publications between these two disciplines by board members over time. The results from the present study indicate that there are members of the real estate research community that publish in premier finance journals, but publication in finance journals is not a prerequisite for selection to the editorial board of a real estate journal as the vast majority of the research publications by real estate editorial board members are published in real estate journals. A movement by this group of influential real estate researchers toward concentrating publications in real estate journals is also shown as the vast majority of recent research published by this group is in real estate journals. Real estate has defined itself as a separate research discipline with a core group of real estate specific publication outlets and researchers who build a solid research career publishing the predominance of their work solely in these real estate journals. Notwithstanding the development of these high quality academic real estate journals, there has been some continued debate as to whether real estate is a sufficiently separate academic discipline to warrant its own unique standards of success. While this debate may be due to the multi-disciplinary nature of real estate or to the fact that most real estate researchers in colleges of business are housed in finance departments or departments including finance and or economics, it is important to provide empirical support for real estate as a unique discipline with its own set of issues, journals, research paradigms, and levels of research productivity signifying excellence. The research in this article builds on earlier work by Clauretie and Daneshvary (1992), VOLUME 16, NUMBER 1, 2008

3 The Finance and Real Estate Publications of Real Estate Editorial Board Members 25 which looked at the real estate and finance publication dynamic for real estate faculty, supports the construct that real estate is a separate research discipline, and highlights the fact that recognition as a top researcher in real estate is not specifically dependent on publication in finance journals. By evaluating the finance and real estate outlets used by the editorial board members of the top real estate journals, the relative weighting of these different publication outlets on career development is ascertained. Methodology Similar to Hardin, Beauchamp, Liano, and Hill (2006), all Real Estate Economics, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, and Journal of Real Estate Research editorial board members as listed in each journal s final issue of 1997 and 2002 are assessed. One hundred and forty-one editorial board members are identified. 1 The career top-tier finance 2 and real estate publications of each editorial board member are compiled using the EconLit database and the real estate journal archives for each of the thirteen core and broad real estate journals. 3 All top real estate and finance journal publications through yearend 2002 are generated and used to evaluate the historical weighting of finance and real estate journal appearances by editorial board members of the top real estate journals. Data on specific finance and real estate appearances are provided in Exhibit 1. Results The data on finance and core and broad real estate publications by real estate editorial board members are provided in Exhibit 1. Exhibit 1 provides both percentage and number of publications by journal for the pre-1983 time period and for subsequent two-year time periods. The number of appearances measure is in parentheses. The finance journals with the most appearances by editorial board members are the Journal of Finance with 175 appearances, including 54 prior to 1983, followed by the Journal of Financial Economics with 64 appearances and the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis with 61 appearances. The real estate journals with the most appearances by editorial board members are Real Estate Economics with 440 appearances, Journal of Real Estate Research with 398 appearances, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics with 306 appearances, and the Journal of Urban Economics with 232 appearances. Finance journal appearances outside the five top journals specifically assessed total 191 while other real estate journal appearances total 507 of 1,883 total real estate journal appearances. Slightly more than 25% (138 of 538) of the appearances in finance journals come from the pre-1983 time period. In contrast, only about 6% (118 of 1,883) of the appearances in real estate journals comes from this period. The maturation of Real Estate Economics and the publication of newer real estate journals like the Journal of Real Estate Research and the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics account for much of this difference. As real estate matured as an academic discipline with its own journals, these newer journals attracted high quality research. It appears that the annual number of appearances in finance journals by real estate journal editorial board members has declined slightly, but the more important change over

6 28 Journal of Real Estate Literature time is the substantial increase in annual appearances in real estate journals. The late 1990s was an especially active time for these researchers. This period coincides with a time when the Journal of Real Estate Research published a greater number of issues each year. The publication pattern is much more evident when the appearances are disaggregated on a percentage basis for each time-period interval. The juxtaposition of the pre-1983 time-period interval with the later time-period intervals is striking. While in aggregate 22.2% of appearances of board members are in finance journals versus 77.8% for real estate journals, the pre-1983 time-period interval has 53.9% of appearances in finance journals versus 46.1% in real estate journals. Over time the percentage of appearances in finance journals decreases monotonically until a slight increase in the 2001 to 2002 time-period interval. Concurrently, the appearances in the broad group of real estate journals increase and hit a high point of 89.2% in the 1999 to 2000 time-period interval. This change in editorial board publication output manifests the demand for high quality real estate research with the growth in published research providing evidence of a real estate discipline specific literature. More real estate research is being published with more outlets than was the case twenty years ago. As a percentage of time-period interval appearances, all of the finance journals with the exception of the newer Review of Financial Studies decline over the period. This is especially true in the other finance category as real estate oriented research moved to real estate specific journals as opposed to the wider range of finance journals. Of notice within the real estate journals group is the reduction of the percentage of appearances on a time-period interval basis in Real Estate Economics. While we do not see a noticeable downward trend in nominal appearances in Real Estate Economics, the Real Estate Economics percentage trend highlights the explosive growth in appearances in other top-tier real estate journals over the last two decades, which reduces Real Estate Economics share of publications. While the increases in percentage of appearances in Journal of Real Estate Research and Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics are noteworthy, so is the increase in the other real estate category. This category, which includes the Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management, the Journal of Real Estate Literature, the Journal of Housing Research and others is now part of the publication portfolio of many members of the editorial boards of the top real estate journals. Editorial board member appearances in core finance, core real estate, other finance, and other real estate journals disaggregated by time-period interval and journal classification can also be assessed. The number of appearances in core finance journals post-1983 has been in the mid-twenties during each time-period interval with a range from 16 to No real trend is evident. The number of other finance journal appearances has generally declined over the total period. This is more apparent in looking at the core and non-core finance appearances as a percentage of total finance appearances where the core finance journals normally account for more than 60% of time-period interval appearances in finance journals. In essence, the editorial board members of the top real estate journals are publishing in the top tier finance journals when not publishing in real estate journals. For real estate journals, this pattern is VOLUME 16, NUMBER 1, 2008

7 The Finance and Real Estate Publications of Real Estate Editorial Board Members 29 also evident with a greater concentration of appearances in core real estate journals relative to other real estate journals. 5 For the entire period, 73.1% of editorial board member appearances in real estate journals are in the premier, or core, real estate journals. Additional insights into editorial board publications are drawn from summary data on board member finance publications. 6 It appears that publication in a top-tier finance journal is not an absolute prerequisite for selection to a top real estate editorial board. While a majority of editorial board members (56.03%) have published at least one article in a top sixteen finance journal and the mean number of publications in top finance journals by this group is a respectable 3.82 appearances, 43.97% of real estate editorial members have no career appearances in the top sixteen finance journals. Only 34.03% of the editorial board members have more than one career appearance in any of the sixteen top finance journals evaluated. Given that selection to the editorial board of a top academic journal requires a substantial research record over a career, the results indicate a distinct real estate research discipline as close to two-thirds of the real estate editorial board members have one or fewer career finance publications. In looking at the finance journals in which the editorial board members do publish, the Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, and Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis appear to be the top finance outlets. Since these are often mentioned as the highest ranked finance journals, this is a positive reflection on real estate research. Taking into account the percentage of board members with four or more finance publications and the mean number of finance publications of 3.82, it is apparent that there is a sub-group of real estate editorial board members with substantial finance publications. In fact, the top ten editorial board members publishing in finance journals account for 61.3% or 330 of the 538 appearances in the top sixteen finance journals. Conclusion This paper assesses real estate editorial board member appearances in the top finance and real estate journals. The vast majority of editorial board member publications are in real estate journals with a high concentration in the premier real estate journals. Over the last twenty years, the percentage of publications of these high impact scholars has shifted from finance journals to real estate journals as this latter group of journals has expanded in quantity and quality of journals. However, the finance journals that garner the largest portion of appearances are those considered the premier finance journals. Concurrently, the real estate journals that account for most of the real estate appearances are the premier real estate journals. This links the real estate journals to the premier finance journals as editorial board members in all likelihood value similar quality outlets. Within the real estate journal cohort, the Journal of Real Estate Research and the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics have expanded their influence and account for an increasing share of editorial board member publications. The growth in additional real estate journals like the Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management, the Journal of Real Estate Literature, and the Journal of Housing Research has aided

8 30 Journal of Real Estate Literature the expansion of real estate scholarship with editorial board members publishing in these journals as well. Finally, while some of the real estate journal editorial board members are prolific publishers in finance journals, publication in a top finance journal is not a prerequisite for selection to the editorial board of a top real estate journal. By implication, publication in a top finance journal is not a prerequisite for research excellence within the real estate discipline. Publication in top finance journals, however, is a career path that is recognized by real estate scholars as substantial achievement. The study findings imply a separate real estate research discipline that is influenced by other disciplines such as the finance discipline. The real estate discipline has developed journals that rigorously address real estate topics and publication in these journals is a path toward the designation of research excellence. While some researchers will be highly published in finance journals, it is likely that future researchers will follow the existing trend toward publishing in the top real estate journals. The implication is that college administrators need to recognize that real estate has developed into a separate discipline with a group of well-known journals where the vast majority of top research work is published. It is likely that the human capital that generates the influential real estate research and publishes in the top real estate journals will gravitate to programs that recognize real estate as a separate research discipline and reward publication in high quality and premier real estate journals, as well as top-tier finance journals. Endnotes 1. A complete list of the editorial board members evaluated is available from the authors. 2. The finance journals included in the study are presented in Exhibit 1. These journals are very similar to those used in Chan, Chen, and Steiner (2002) with some substitutions. Outside the top five finance journals, there are no publication patterns with any of the finance journals. 3. The thirteen real estate journals are taken from Dombrow and Turnbull s (2002) core and broad groups of eight academic real estate journals plus Urban Studies and all ARES publications. In this work, the Journal of Urban Economics is considered a core journal as implied by Hardin, Beauchamp, Liano, and Hill (2006). 4. The numbers here simply reference appearances in the top five finance journals. 5. The core real estate journals are the four named real estate journals in this analysis. 6. Summary data on editorial board publications in finance journals are presented. Since the results are straight forward, the data are not present in exhibits. References Chan, K.C., C.R.
