The
objective of the Action is to improve the transparency of real property
markets and to provide a stronger basis for the reduction of costs of
real property transactions by preparing a set of models of real
property transactions. The main benefit of the Action is that governments, professions, and holders of property rights get a better basis for reducing the costs of the transactions of the markets of real estates. Moreover, the Action’s outcome in terms of models and analyses will be of great interest for the European countries in transition, currently reshaping their institutions for the administration of real properties. |
The Committee warmly commends Action G9.
In this Action, a network of technical specialists in land surveying
and related disciplines had the vision to seek to model one of
society's most pervasive and fundamental socio-technical systems: the
concept of real property rights, and the complex of legal and
professional structures underpinning it. ... The researchers have developed a methodology for fruitful comparative analysis across countries and jurisdictions and over time. They have made useful contributions to the application of institutional theory and transaction-cost theory. They have stimulated the formation of an 'invisible faculty' from many scattered disciplines and pockets of research. ... The dissemination of results has been exemplary. ... The Committee hopes for significant follow-on activity, ... |
..... Our overall assessment is that the G9 action has achieved its objectives to a significant extent. The assessment of the participants themselves varies between "good" and "excellent", we will put a major emphasis in this respect on the very impressive list of scientific publications and their quality, as well as the activities the action has initiated. 9.3 Outcome and achievements In our judgement, the main outcomes are as follows:

Kick-Off
Meeting of the COST Action G9
|
Contact: Heiner Stuckenschmidt Center for Computing Technologies University of Bremen E-mail: heiner@tzi.de |
The
main objective of the Action is
to provide a stronger basis for the reduction of costs of real property transactions by preparing a set of models of real property transactions, which is correct, formalised, and complete according to stated criteria, and then assessing the economic efficiency of these transactions. |
Applicants for STSM funding must be with a laboratory (department), which actively participates in the COST action. Undergraduates may not be considered. Further details appear from the ESF-COST Guideline for the implementation of Short-Term Scientific Missions . Note! New issue by March 2005 among others requesting on-line registration by the applicant at http://mail.cost.esf.org/stsm/ .
Applicants should make themselves familiar with the above Guideline, and contact STSM sub-committee, att. Prof. Erik Stubkjær, est@land.aau.dk, for judgements.
