Does Air Quality Matter? Evidence from the Housing Market
Chay, Kenneth Y.; Greenstone, Michael - 2004
We exploit the structure of the Clean Air Act to provide new evidence on the capitalization of total suspended particulates (TSPs) air pollution into housing values. This legislation imposes strict regulations on polluters in nonattainment counties, which are defined by TSPs concentrations that...
