Abstract: This study examines
the real estate journals and discipline from the unique perspective of mainstream finance
faculty. The entire academic membership of the Financial Management Association (FMA) is
surveyed resulting in a 29.6% response rate. They were queried on their personal
characteristics (enrollment, number of tenure track faculty, department, rank, area of
expertise, number of articles published, and real estate courses offered). But more
importantly, they were asked to rank real estate journals by perceived quality and to
compare the quality of the real estate journals to five mainstream finance journals.
Lastly, they were asked about the support for including real estate courses in the
curriculum of the finance department.
