Comparing property markets on an international scaleInternational workshop - 13th March 2018Room B015 – Building Bienvenüe - Cité Descartes - Champs-Sur-Marne (France)La journée d'étude internationale "Comparing property markets on an international scale" se tiendra le 13 mars 2018 à l'université Paris-Est (Campus Descartes - Champs-sur-Marne).A l'intersection de la sociologie quantitative, de la sociologie économique et de la géographie, cette journée sera l'occasion de réfléchir aux enjeux méthodologiques et épistémologiques liés à la comparaison internationale des marchés.Les marchés immobiliers formeront le cadre d'analyse mais les réflexions intéresseront plus largement ceux qui appréhendent les marchés sous un angle comparatif.Les discussions se feront en anglais. La journée est ouverte à tous.L'inscription préalable est obligatoire.

It is supported by the Urban Futures Labex of the University Paris-Est and it continues to develop the conceptual framework that was discussed during the day-long seminar entitled “Representing property markets” held at the University Paris 7 Diderot in July 2017. While many scholars compare property markets from the same urban area or compare the way these markets distinguish urban areas within a given country, very few propose an international comparison. And yet, this is a main scientific issue. Such comparisons would provide a new angle for studying metropolitan development as well as its internal trends relating to inequality and gentrification. This one-day seminar will provide a space to undertake such reflection while highlighting the methodological and theoretical stakes related to international comparability.Scientific committee Alexandre Coulondre (Lab’Urba, UPE) Renaud Le Goix (Géographie-Cités, UPD) Guilhem Boulay (Espace, UAPV) Loïc Bonneval (Centre Max Weber, ULL) Laure Casanova-Enault (Espace, UAPV)
