Shareable: No Panaceas! A Q&A with Elinor Ostrom He studied Swiss peasants and then studied in Africa too. He was quite disturbed that people were saying that Africans were primitive because they used common property so frequently and they didn't know about the benefits of private property. The implication was we've got to impose private property rules on them. Netting said, ?Are the Swiss peasants stupid' They use common property also.?

Ah yet another issue I've been struggling with as an expat in Austria. It's become blatantly obvious to me in the last few months that Austria is a very masculine society. Some of you might roll your eyes and think, duh, but it was really hard to figure out. Austrian women are far better supported by their government then American women. Austrian women also have a tendency to be as assertive as American women. They are also far less suppressed concerning their sexuality than American women. My...

THE Federation Nationale de l'Immobiliers (FNAIM) say in their report for February that prices have risen by 0.6 per cent on the previous month. They say that the small increase has been led by an improvement in the sale price of apartments (+1.4%), average prices for homes actually fell (-0.2%). A look at prices in comparison to this time last year shows they have fallen by 2.8 per cent, this compares to falls of 3.1% in 2008, and 4.9% in 2009.

With the recent down turn in the world economy and the strong Euro, as well as other factors, the housing market pretty much everywhere has stalled. This has left many in Bulgaria (and other countries) unable to sell their properties. I have therefore decided to offer a property exchange service. I am aware that there are a number of people that would like to leave Bulgaria but cannot now afford anything back in the UK, or maybe they want to move to France or Spain. On the other hand there are...

With property prices right across Europe and further a field lower than they were a couple of years ago, (see Prices in Bulgaria down to 2007 level) does this mean that anyone needing to sell has to do so at a loss, or could you still break even or maybe manage a small profit from a sale, if you sell in today's market. Much depends on what you intend to do with the money received on a sale. And the currency used when you bought and when you sell. So let's look at an example. Say you purchased a...

A recent report suggested that prices for property in Bulgaria had now dropped to the same level as it was back in 2007. There are no official statistics for this and the noticeable drop is simply based on listed selling prices between 2006 and 2007 and the fact that sale transactions have fallen drastically towards the end of 2008 and in the first few months of 2009. Many are seeing this as a sign that the Bulgarian real estate market has completely collapsed and there is little hope of...
