Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to review the issues involved in the implementation of mass valuation systems and the conditions needed for doing so.Design/methodology/approach– The method makes use of case studies of and fieldwork in countries that have either recently introduced mass valuations, brought about major changes in their systems or have been working towards introducing mass valuations.Findings– Mass valuation depends upon a degree of development and transparency in property markets and an institutional structure capable of collecting and maintaining up-to-date price data and attributes of properties. Countries introducing mass valuation may need to undertake work on improving the institutional basis for this as a pre-condition for successful implementation of mass valuation.Practical implications– Although much of the literature is concerned with how to improve the statistical modelling of market prices, there are significant issues concerned with the type and quality of the data used in mass valuation models and the requirements for successful use of mass valuations.Originality/value– Much of the literature on mass valuation takes the form of the development of statistical models of value. There has been much less attention given to the issues involved in the implementation of mass valuation.

"Since 2016, the United States has experienced an average of nearly one mass shooting per day. Is this the new normal, or can something be done to prevent these slaughters?

While some point to stricter gun control as a solution, others urge a focus on mental health and improvement of social factors that contribute to disenfranchisement.

Das Phänomen des Heraustretens aus der Masse im Sinne von sich Profilieren ist bislang, außer immanent in der Eliteforschung, wenig untersucht worden. Der Beitrag beschreibt zunächst fünf formale Schritte des Heraustretens: (1) das Verfolgenkönnen des Kontextes, (2) den Entschluß zum Heraustreten, (3) die möglichen Situationen, (4) die Folgen des Heraustretens und (5) die doppelte Gefährdung des Herausgetretenen, einmal von außen (die verlassene Gruppe), einmal von innen (die neue Parteiung). In der Darstellung des Heraustretens, das als besondere kulturelle Leistung oder Kulturarbeit verstanden wird, werden Beispiele aus dem politischen Raum eingeflochten. Die Übertragung auf den wirtschaftlichen Bereich wird angedeutet.(PT)
