We find a strong heterogeneous reaction across sectors. Moreover, we show that the worst performance in the short period is attributable to companies with better performance on environmental issues, which could mean an adjustment of investors’ assessment criteria in anticipation of President Trump's anti-climate policies, reduced transition risk for \"brown\" firms and lower benefits for firms excelling in environmental performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11468,"journal":{"name":"Economics Letters","volume":"249 ","pages":"Article 112261"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143551532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines a ban on rental-purpose purchases in South Korea and finds that the regulation leads to price declines in both regulated and adjacent areas, demonstrating a price spillover effect: an 8.9 % decrease in the regulated area and a 5.2 % decrease in adjacent areas. Moreover, there is no statistical evidence of demand displacement or increased transaction volumes in adjacent areas, while the investor ban is associated with a 25.6 % decline in transaction volumes within the regulated zone. These findings suggest that price spillover effects outweigh displacement effects in heated housing markets, indicating that place-based policies can effectively curb real estate price increases despite concerns about investment demand displacement.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11468,"journal":{"name":"Economics Letters","volume":"248 ","pages":"Article 112242"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143463896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, this preference is strengthened when a firm has greater market power or profitability.
