Abstract: This paper develops an
optimal portfolio selection technique when short sales on real estate assets are
restricted. Using the well-known mean-variance efficient concept, we are able to derive
the optimal weights for portfolios consisting of both financial assets and real estate
assets. Our paper provides a simple but powerful tool for portfolio managers to correctly
construct mean-variance portfolios under short sale constraints.
