Kelvin S.K. Wong is Professor of Real Estate at the University of Hong Kong and leads the HKU Real Estate Lab. He was the Head of the Department of Real Estate & Construction from 2019 to 2023, the Director of the MSc(Real Estate) program from 2017 to 2020, and Associate Dean (Teaching & Learning) for the Faculty of Architecture from 2014 to 2016.
As a real estate economist, his research aims to 1) advance our understanding of real estate as a consumption good, an investment asset, and a policy instrument, and 2) discover and explain how developers, owners, renters, and agents behave in an ‘inefficient’ market. He co-invented the repeat-sales property price index in Hong Kong, which became the first tradable housing price index in Asia.
