Noisy Neighborhood but Nice House? Pollution and the Choice of Residential Location and Housing Quality

Noisy Neighborhood but Nice House? Pollution and the Choice of Residential Location and Housing... <p>abstract:</p><p>This study analyzes how information about noise pollution affects neighborhood composition and households&apos; choice of housing quality. I find that the announcement of a renewal of an airport operating contract induced high-income households to shift away from the zone exposed to airport noise. High-income households who still located in the airport noise zone after the announcement selected homes of better quality. These results help reconcile mixed findings on residential sorting in the literature. <i>(JEL Q53, R21)</i></p> http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Land Economics University of Wisconsin Press
