    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE PSYCHIC VALUE AND URBAN REGENERATION: HOW AND WHY SIGNATURE ARCHITECTURE AFFECTS REGIONAL ECONOMIES ALEXANDER GROSEK SUMMER 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Finance with honors in Finance Reviewed and approved* by the following: Christoph Hinkelmann Clinical Associate Professor of Finance Thesis Supervisor Brian Davis Clinical Associate Professor of Finance Honors Adviser * Electronic approvals are on file. i ABSTRACT Focusing on buildings designed by winners of the Pritzker Prize for Architecture, I create a sample of 509 buildings-designed-by-signature-architects (BDSA) in the United States. This yields 170 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) that contain 509 BDSA. Drawing on U.S. Census data from 2010 – 2019, 13 economic data points are collected for each MSA in the sample, yielding 2,210 initial data points. The same 13 data points are collected for each of the 37 states where at least one BDSA currently resides, yielding an additional 481 unique data points Finally, the same 13 data points are collected for the U.S. economy as a whole. This data is sorted using basic weighted-average calculations to measure the relationship between the number of BDSA and the regional economic performance of the group of MSAs containing those BDSA, weighted by the number of BDSA in each city. The BDSA-weighted average of these economic statistics is then compared to the state and national averages for the same economic indicators. The results of this study show that the 170 regions under analysis have BDSA-weighted economic indicators that, when viewed together, demonstrate significantly more robust regional economic environments than the population-weighted average statistics for the 37 state economies in which they reside and the national average for the U.S.

  • Manhattan Office Market
    Manhattan Offi ce Market 2 ND QUARTER 2015 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 1001 Avenue of the Americas Looking Ahead Partnership for New York City: New York’s Future as the World Financial Capital The report released in June concluded that while New York City remains the preferred location of global fi nancial companies to establish their headquarters, there is a growing trend to relocate jobs and business operations to lower cost, more business-friendly locations that are beyond the city’s border. A comprehensive survey was conducted in collaboration with Gerson Lehrman Group (GRG), intending to better understand how the fi nancial industry is evolving; and what measures are required to solidify New York’s competitive advantage as a global fi nancial center. Collected data represents an overview of the responses from 50-fi rm respondents that included large banks, insurance companies and asset managers, private equity fi rms, hedge funds, and fi nancial technology (FinTech) startups; and represent about 1/3rd of the total industry employment in the city. Additionally, observations were included from 8-real estate fi rms that were surveyed; along with interviews from other related experts in the fi eld. Financial Industry – an economic snapshot • Contributes 20% of the city’s economic output, representing twice that of the next top-grossing industry. • Accounts for nearly 1/3rd of the city’s private sector payroll, despite accounting for only 8%, or about 310,000 of the city’s private sector jobs in 2013; of which 23,000 jobs are high-technology in the areas of software, data processing and network management.
