CBE Professor Ranks 12th Worldwide in Scholarly Contributions to Real Estate

S. McKay Price, associate professor in the Perella Department of Finance at Lehigh, ranked 12th worldwide for his scholarly contributions to the field of real estate from 2012-2016.

The Real Estate Academic Leadership (REAL) rankings are based on the number of contributions in the top peer-reviewed research journals in the real estate discipline, namely the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, the Journal of Real Estate Research and Real Estate Economics.

Price had eight articles in the publications.

It was the second release of REAL rankings for authors and institutions. Price, whose research interests are real estate and finance, moved up 19 spots from the inaugural 2011-2015 REAL rankings.

"We are proud to have such a prolific and respected real estate scholar on our faculty," said Georgette Chapman Phillips, the Kevin L. and Lisa A. Clayton Dean of the College of Business and Economics.
