We analyze the causal effect of air pollution (acute fine particulate matter) exposure on commercial real estate (CRE) market. We instrument for air pollution using changes in local wind direction to find that an increase in fine particulate matter exposure leads to a contemporaneous decrease in...

Combining granular data on temperatures across the continental US with micro-level commercial real estate (CRE) data from 1980 to 2020, we study the impact of exposure to extreme temperature shocks on investment performance of CRE at the individual asset level. We find that exposure to extreme...

Employing a generalized Hamiltonian Monte Carlo Bayesian procedure we develop a new measure of real estate uncertainty that explicitly encapsulates conditional stochastic volatility and noise. When applied to commercial real estate (CRE) markets, results of Vector Autoregressive (VAR) modeling...

This paper estimates the impact of opioid abuse on real estate prices. We exploit the variation in opioid prescriptions induced by the staggered passage of state laws intending to limit the abuse of opioids. We document a long-term negative relationship between opioid prescriptions and...

Combining granular data on temperatures across the continental US with micro-level commercial real estate (CRE) data from 1991 to 2020, we study the impact of exposure to extreme temperature shocks on investment performance of CRE at the individual asset level. We find that exposure to extreme...
