I enjoyed learning corporate finance with Professor Binay, and his knowledge in mergers and acquisitions inspired me to look deeper into the ski industry developments. In addition, I would not have been able to complete this research without the guidance and expertise of Professor Heather Antecol and Professor Janet Kiholm Smith. I am also thankful for my Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) professors, Professor Adrienne Martin, Professor Aseema Sinha, and Professor Cameron Shelton, for instilling the love of reading and writing in me. I would also like to thank the Robert Day Scholars Program for preparing me with industry analysis knowledge.

  • Distance, Amenities & Price
    Distance, Amenities & Price: Vacation Home Communities in the Northern Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains Sharon Disque April, 2005 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the value of second homes in the mountains west of Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Maryland. Specifically, the study explores the differential in asking price of houses relative to the distance from primary home communities, resort amenities, and physical housing characteristics. Using a statistical technique called the hedonic price model (multiple regression), it is possible to identify the implicit price of particular features of a house. Such estimates can guide real estate investors and developers in decisions associated with construction of new resort communities. Empirical data for this study draws from the Multiple List Service for ten resort areas (with more than 225 properties listed in the fall of 2004), marketing information from each resort, and GIS estimates for distance. Results suggest that certain housing characteristics, including number of bathrooms and waterfront location, influence asking price more than community amenities or distance. INTRODUCTION In 1995, Fort Ritchie in Western Maryland saw its future as a military facility curtailed when Congress approved the recommendations of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC). The base would remain open for three years following the announcement, but community leaders immediately began planning for the property’s redevelopment. A local redevelopment authority worked with an assortment of consultants, identified goals and objectives, and eventually formed the PenMar Development Corporation (PMDC). As with any re-use project, numerous hurdles have stalled transfer of the property from the Federal government to PMDC. However, unlike other BRAC facilities in the region, Fort Ritchie has seen little forward progress in attracting new uses.
