“…This includes US REITs (Corgel et al , 1995; Feng et al , 2011; Lee, 2010; Zietz et al , 2003) and REITs in Australia (Newell and Peng, 2009). Given the more recent development of REITs in Europe, much of the previous property research regarding European property has focused on various aspects of European listed property companies rather than European REITs (Freybote et al , 2008; Hui and Chan, 2013; Kovac and Lee, 2008; Lee, 2009; Lizieri et al , 2003; McAllister and Lizieri, 2006; Morri and Cristanziani, 2009; Niskanen et al , 2011; Schindler, 2009; Schulte et al , 2011; Westgaard et al , 2008; Yang et al , 2005). The only research as yet concerning European REITs assessed issues relating to REITs in the UK (Baum and Devaney, 2008), REITs in Germany (Schacht and Wimschulte, 2008) and REITs in Turkey (Aktan and Ozturk, 2009).…”
