Experience
Terry V. Grissom was a Full Professor of Real Estate and Urban Land Economics at Georgia State University, Atlanta in the Robinson College of Business, teaching or having taught Real Estate Financing (Mortgages and Capital Markets), Real Estate Finance and Mortgage Banking, Management of Real Estate Assets, Equity Investment, Urban Land Economics, Components and Foundations of Real Estate Development, Real Estate Project Management and Development Strategies and the Physical Dimensions of Real Estate (soil and site analysis, construction management, construction materials, architectural styles, function and structural analysis). Dr. Grissom also teaches International Real Estate and Portfolio Analysis, City Development and Growth, Urban and Regional Analysis and Research in Real Estate Finance and Land Economics. Dr. Grissom has over thirty years of real estate, finance, economic and general business experience, including consulting, appraising and business development. He has worked for over ten years in institutional investment research and portfolio analysis. Dr. Grissom’s research has focused on international, national and regional markets for various property types and economic, the economics of sustainable development and urban development. Prior to a full tenured position, Grissom was an Associate Professor of Real Estate at GSU. Dr. Grissom has also taught Business and Real Estate Development (BUS 688) at the Goizuetta School of Business at Emory University and Investment Analysis in the Graduate Program in Facilities Management, School of Architecture, at Georgia Technological Institute. The Emory courses are taught under a mutually advantageous contract between the Emory and GSU Masters programs (five courses). The Georgia Tech courses are under the University Systems Regent’s mission of cross-university educational services.
Professional courses developed for Georgia State in conjunction with firms, industries and professional groups include abridged curriculums of development, investment, financing, management, market analysis and corporate real estate for companies such as Beers Engineering and Construction. These courses were designed to enable their engineers and architects to interact with the development and financial clients and industry sectors. A full curriculum was developed on real estate finance, capital market operations, portfolio management, valuation, site selection and property analysis, cost estimation and other courses was developed for the national operation of Lend Lease (called Lend Lease University). Lend Lease is an Australian based company sponser of the London Olympics) dealing with international asset investment and management. Lend Lease purchased several American companies, such as Equitable Investments, Yarmouth Advisory, Bovis Development and Construction. Other programs were developed for Yarmouth, DeLoitte, and Price-Waterhouse Cooper among other companies. A series of CEU and professional related courses have been developed in conjunction with the Real Estate Department’s Alumni Association and the Georgia Graduate Realtors Institute (GRI) which has resulted in two Endowed Chairs for the Department.
Prior to his tenure at GSU, Grissom was Vice-President of Investment Research for Equitable Real Estate Investment Management, an institutional investment advisory for pension funds, insurance companies and other financial institutions. Research concentrations resulting from this institutional experience links topics in the areas of capital markets, economic analysis of urban markets (for geographic and economic based diversification), insurance company mixed asset investment/portfolio activities and general portfolio analysis, management and asset allocation. The research department was defined by a Chinese wall constructed between itself and in-house portfolio and fund managers. This separation allowed data development, contribution to indices and increased efficiencies of data sharing with competitors, such as Prudential Investments, LaSalle Partners, JMB, Heitman, RREEF, etc. This industry level coordination allowed the research department of competitive firms to function as a portfolio advisory for research driven investment funds in a more efficient market structure. Examples of clients were Ford Pension Fund, Ohio State Teachers Pension Fund, CALPERS, CALSTERS, ARGUS (Shell Oil Company’s Pension Advisory), and AXA insurance amongst others.
From 1992 through October 1994 was the National Research Director (NRD) for Price Waterhouse’s Financial Services Industry Practice. This practice division deals with business development and the needs of finance service companies, capital markets, insurance companies and real estate enterprises. The research department dealt with Real Estate Advisory/Valuation Groups (under audit and tax services units) conducting economic research on investment markets, institutional investment, REITs, portfolio analysis and real estate market analysis across urban areas. During this period Grissom developed econometric models used for real property and capital asset analysis and the debenture bond liabilities used in Macy’s bankruptcy and workout (Federated bail-out). He (in conjunction with Salomon Brothers), also derived investment models for analyzing non-performing thrift’s assets disposition and their merger into a functioning financial institution. Other work experience involved portfolio and valuation assignments for IBM, UBS, Heitman, JMB, Equitable Insurance, North Western Life, etc.
From 1987 to 1992, was an Associate Research Economist for the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University concentrating on commercial and urban real estate markets, market cycles, land price indices, market segmentation and geographic/economic diversification potential for a portfolio of properties in the urban areas of Texas. The underlying strategy was to document and support the capacity to invest and hedge within the state during an economic correction and to identify regional and statewide growth potential.
From 1986 to 1987 was Acting Director of the Real Estate Program housed in the Finance Department at the University of Texas, Austin.
From 1980 to 1987 was an Assistant Professor of Finance at the University of Texas, Austin, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in Principles, Real Estate and Urban Development, Appraisal, Investment, Real Estate Development Strategies and Regional and Urban Economic Analysis and Small Business Valuation.
In 1979 was a Senior Lecturer at The University of Wisconsin, Madison, teaching the graduate and undergraduate Real Estate Process (investment feasibility and development courses).
From 1977 through 1979 was an instructor for the University of Wisconsin-Extension teaching courses in Principles of Appraisal (101) and Income Property Appraisal (201), which counted towards the Society of Real Estate Appraisers’ professional designations (SRA, SRPA and SREA). During this period he also taught the Real Property Investment Analysis course for the U.W. Extension.
From 1974 to 1979 was a partner in Real Estate Market Analysts (REMA) an appraisal, market and investment analysis concern in Glasgow, Kentucky. This consulting activity overlapped with graduate school in Wisconsin.
From 1975 through 1976 was Coordinator of Real Estate Programs at Western Kentucky University, holding the position established by the Kentucky State Real Estate Commission. In addition to the responsibilities of teaching, the Coordinator was required to write-up a two to four year degree program in Real Estate and Land Development.

Current Publications
“The Mixed Asset Portfolio for Asia-Pacific Markets,” with Jin and Ziobrowski (2007/8), In this study, mixed-asset portfolios were constructed containing real estate, common stock, and bond investments from various Asian-Pacific countries. The countries of particular interest include six economically developing countries: China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand, and five developed countries: Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand. The time period is 1998–2005. Upon close examination of these portfolios, it becomes clear that currency risk is a larger concern when investing in countries with emerging markets in comparison to countries with already developed markets. Despite the currency risk, the results of this study show that mixed-asset portfolios from countries with emerging economies have outperformed the assets of developed countries for moderate and aggressive investors targeting Asian-Pacific countries. Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management, 13:3, 249
“Property Economics: Growth Theory and Valuation of Sustainable Development Options,” (2005), RICS Research Paper Series, The foundation of this study is the specification and treatment of property as a resource. This specification differs from the treatment of property as an interchangeable commodity in traditional development. The treatment if land as a commodity is based on the assumption of a constant fixed stock with a high elasticity of substitution allowing it to be immediately transferred and consumed in alternative uses in each production period. The sustainable criterion of treating property as a resource to be managed over time requires the consideration of property valued in the form of a Ricardian quasi-rent as suggested by Baker and Sa-Adu (2004). A Ricardian format offers an alternative measure of property growth theory to that of the fixed stock of a commodity reflected in the bulk of the literature. The ability to value the difference between the development processes of sustainable and traditional development allows the choice between them to be based on the valuation of the price of switching between development options. The three-stage model employed is applied to property resources and decision criteria of the UK and the USA.
Research and Publications in process
The following articles are in process and are focused on using Financial Economics paradigms to address issues of real estate investment and portfolio analysis and management, sustainable development and business development decisions as the exercise of real options.
1. “Valuation Theory, the Marshallian Synthesis and Implications to Mark-to-Market
Measurements,” This study distinguishes between value and valuation theory as specified by Wendt (1974) and Grissom (1981, 1985) and investigates Marshall’s synthesis and hierarchal structure of price, capitalization, and cost as a theoretical premise and techniques of valuation. Marshall’s hierarchal theory is contrast with the acceptance in current practice as to what Wendt termed the theory of equivalence between market price, normal value and long-term normal price. Focusing on the application of these economic theories to real assets across spatially defined markets in the U.S., this study empirically illustrates the implication of theoretically distinct approaches to valuation and their differences in units of measurement to the current debate on cost/historical price of rules based accounting versus mark-to-market economic principle based accounting standards. This paper is to be presented at the national meeting of the American Real Estate Society in April 2008.
2. “Integrating Arrow Securities and von Neumann Processes in Index Decomposition Using
Optimal Control Models.” Despite convenient access for members and academic researchers
to the data set comprising the NCREIF index, the bulk of the public and many investors can only employ the aggregated index data. This construct allows the index to be used as a market benchmark proxy measure that fits accepted reduced form asset pricing models. By construction this creates an incomplete market structure that limits the measurement of risk and the specification of diversification benefits that is central to market based pricing techniques employed by investors. This is a major problem for property investment given that the asset is often sought for its diversification benefits, with an emphasis for this diversification often determined by the effects of geographic differences on measures of risk and return. Empirical tests of these factors in capital analysis and basic pricing techniques suggest these benefits are limited in contrast to the expectations specified by financial, land and real estate economic theory. To be submitted to B. E. Journal of Theoretical Economics
3. “Developing Capitalization Rates for Sustainable Development Projects,” This study
structures sustainable development on the sustainable criterion as identified by Grissom (2005) to integrate the traditional Inwood and Hoskold premises with Solow’s (1954) resource valuation model to derive application capitalization models to offset thin market data. This is to be presented April 2008 at the Panel on Corporate Sustainable and Green Development at the ARES meetings. It will be submitted to the Journal of Property Investment and Finance (UK publication).
4. “Mark-to-Market Valuation: Integrating Dynamic Cash Flow Analysis with Stable Valuation
Models,” with Wincott. This study builds on the reasonableness measures developed by Wincott, Hoover and Grissom (1996), by expanding on the K factor equation used to equate discounted cash flow analysis to a stabilized value estimate based on direct capitalization. The contributions of this study allow a period by period equation of DCF analysis and accrual valuation models separating out the effect of not only procedural and assumption differences, but also allows for the time frame need to achieve convergence. This approach allows for the linking of cash flow analysis with alternative value premises expanding the application of principle based mark-to-market standards and techniques, using Lagrangian multipliers to equate the difference in valuation assumptions associated with specific value premises and valuation techniques. The approach presented also allows the extraction of variables accounting for timing differences endogenous in distinct value premises and valuation procedure in the form of stochastic discount factors. Combining these insights enables the use of alternative and appropriate mark-to-market standards, including risk parameters not apparent in an appraisal’s singular determinant value estimate ignoring perceptional as well as fundamental differences in valuation procedures. To be submitted to the Journal of Real Estate Portfolio Management.
Presentations being developed into article submissions.

specifications.
6. Exchange Rate Regime Impacts on Real Estate Securities Returns: The Euro Conversion,
Grisham’s Law and the Law of One Price, Proceedings of the European Real Estate Society, available from the Swedish Business School, Helsinki, Finland (2003). This research is being expanded to capture the impact of the US dollars’ decline in relation to the Law of One Price and associated arbitrage affects.
Development, Land Economics and Valuation Research: These articles focus on development strategies and land, spatial, valuation and development economics
7. Real Estate Market Imperfections: Implications of Divergent Market Structure to Asset Class Analysis.” This research investigates the impact of market and product imperfections on the market structure of office property in distinct geographic markets. 25 cities or regions/MSAs are studied for segmented and/or integrated effects on return, diversification of risks and structural form.
8. Spatial Arbitrage Approach to the Complexities of Land Rent Analysis,” to be sent to
Journal of Urban Economics, or Journal of Regional Science or Land Economics. This article is being restructured from the basis of the primary research presented at the RICs Foundation convened at Oxford 2001 and entitled to allow the integration of Ricardian and site rent theory given the constraints of the objective statement of the “sustainable criterion.”
9. Economic Implications of Sustainable Development: An International Comparison,” Proceedings of the Skye Conference, sponsored by the RICs Foundation, University of Aberdeen and University of Reading (2003). Objective is to integrate monetary effects into sustainable development strategies to assist in intergenerational allocation and value decisions. This presentation was altered to become the RICs 2005 publication. The remaining issues are to link to profit differences and address the nature of capital flow differences given development options.
10. An Alternative Measure of Land as a Factor of Production in the Theory of Distribution of National Accounts, this research proposes and economic measure of land in the theory of distribution reflecting the reduction in the available stock resulting from urbanization effects within a national market. This approach treats land and economic space available for development, production and consumption as a depleting resource and not the renewable commodity with fixed capacity used in macroeconomic models.

Research Management at Price Waterhouse (as National Research Director)
Managed five market analysts concerned with supply, demand, capture and absorption calculations for individual properties in the major markets (by office location) of Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and New York. Each analyst then dealt with properties within appropriate regional districts.
Also directed the analysts in updating and maintaining current databases with specific emphasis on capital market rates and yields and demographic data.
Also engaged-in and directed portfolio analysis involving the research assistants and appraisers as a third of my performance requirements.
Finally performed econometrics analysis on the capital market, economic and consulting issues confronted by the firm. Specific examples where the development of a market analysis model for specific properties, yield testing models, the econometrics model used in the Macy’s Bankruptcy Case and a Derived Investment Value used for financial institutions’ disposition decisions.
Research Management and Activities at Equitable Real Estate Investment Management (as Vice-President of Investment Research)
Management and research activities involved participation and contribution in the research, development and writing of segments of Equitable’s 1995 Outlook Report and Emerging Trends (with RERC). Work on the former publication involved broad economic analysis and investigation of equity and debt capital markets.
Specific projects basically can be grouped into fundamental analysis of urban markets and portfolio analysis. The research in urban markets including economic base comparisons and the real estate markets in terms of activity levels and returns. The key issues were regional economic performance and potential for geographic diversification. The portfolio analysis addressed the impact of real estate within mixed asset portfolios and the consideration of optimal real estate property types and geographic combination to allow investment optimizations.
Other short-term projects involved ring studies (trade area analysis for properties), rate studies to set and establish hurdle rates and reserves management, and economic inputs for mortgage rating models.
