To make housing the central theme is welcome, since the role of the housing market in economic instability is crucial. The focus on East Asia will be valuable, given that most literature on real estate cycles has tended to concentrate on Europe and the US. The behavioural and institutional perspective that the authors favour should also provide useful insights. \u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003eRichard Barras\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eProperty Market Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBertrand RENAUD\u003c\/strong\u003e is the former Housing Finance Adviser in the Financial Development Department of the World Bank where he worked on banking and financial development issues.\u003cbr\u003eHe has studied most East Asian countries, in particular Korea since the 1970s and China since 1988.
