Prof. Roland Füss

Roland Füss is Professor of Real Estate Finance and Member of the Board of the Swiss Institute for Banking and Finance and of the School of Finance at the University of St.Gallen. Before joining the University, Professor Füss was a faculty member at EBS Business School. He has published extensively in his field and serves on the editorial boards of several journals.

Prof. Füss specializes in real estate economics and finance, with a focus on private real estate markets, including commercial and housing markets. His research examines price discovery, risk spillovers, and spatial and temporal dynamics in real estate markets. In his recently completed research, he analyzed the effects of sustainability, carbon emissions, and energy efficiency on rents, asset values, and risk in private real estate markets. His current work investigates cross-sectional variation in price-to-rent ratios, with particular emphasis on the role of households' risk attitudes and price expectations. Further research examines the predictive power of idiosyncratic skewness and kurtosis for future returns in the housing market. Professor Füss actively participates in SFI Knowledge Exchange activities on real estate valuation and AI in real estate.
