Professor Danny Ben-Shahar is a faculty member at the Coller School of Management, Tel Aviv University, where he serves as the Director of the Alrov Institute for Real Estate Research. His academic career spans over two decades with significant contributions to real estate economics and urban studies.
Ben-Shahar earned his B.A. in economics from Tel Aviv University followed by an MBA and Ph.D. in finance and real estate from the University of California at Berkeley, establishing a strong foundation for his interdisciplinary research approach.
His research primarily focuses on the analysis of rational and irrational decision-making in real estate markets, with particular attention to housing affordability, behavioral aspects of property transactions, and socio-economic factors influencing housing markets. Ben-Shahar's work bridges theoretical economic models with practical real-world applications, often employing natural experiments to examine market behaviors.
Analysis of his publication record reveals a consistent trajectory from foundational real estate economic theories toward increasingly behavioral and socio-political dimensions of housing markets. His early work focused on technical aspects of real estate transactions, while recent publications explore intersections with political beliefs, diversity in corporate governance, and psychological factors affecting property decisions. This evolution demonstrates his adaptability to emerging market dynamics and broader societal influences on real estate.
