Abstract

Several cities around the world are affected by high levels of noise pollution. In fact, noise pollution is one of the main problems affecting the quality of life in cities. In this sense, noise, understood as an environmental stressor, can cause significant health problems, including sleep and learning disorders, memory troubles, lack of motivation and increase in irritability and aggressiveness. This work analyzes the value that individuals place on living in quieter areas. Using hedonic price models, we obtained an accurate assessment of the marginal willingness to pay of individuals to reduce noise pollution. The main result highlight the relevance of this topic: a buyer is willing to pay around 1.9% less for each decibel of noise around the house. Such result is especially relevant in the design of noise mitigation policies, as it determines whether the benefits of the policies designed to reduce noise pollution exceed their implementation costs.
噪音污染与住宅市场:拉普拉塔市的空间特征分析
世界上有几个城市受到高水平噪音污染的影响。事实上,噪音污染是影响城市生活质量的主要问题之一。从这个意义上说,噪音被理解为一种环境压力源,会导致严重的健康问题,包括睡眠和学习障碍、记忆问题、缺乏动力以及易怒和攻击性的增加。这项工作分析了个人对生活在安静地区的重视。使用特征价格模型,我们获得了对个人减少噪音污染的边际支付意愿的准确评估。主要结果突出了这个话题的相关性:买家愿意为房子周围每分贝的噪音少支付1.9%左右。这一结果与噪音缓解政策的设计尤其相关,因为它决定了旨在减少噪音污染的政策的效益是否超过了其实施成本。
