The Independent (Main), 19/08/2015, p.23, Cahal Milmo
Paul Cheshire, emeritus professor of economic geography at the London School of Economics, said: “Conditions in financial markets and such low interest rates have converted property and especially top-end housing into an investment asset – yields are so low on such a wide range of assets.

Blame Mexico!
The Economist (Web), 18/08/2015, Unattributed
According to Gianmarco Ottaviano, Giovanni Peri and Greg Wright, economists at LSE and the University of California, firms do cut costs by hiring cheap immigrant labour. But this frees up money to expand production and hire more workers, usually American, to perform complementary, communication-intensive jobs requiring good English. Mexican immigrants actually help keep jobs in America by discouraging firms from "offshoring" in search of lower labour costs.
