One argument from residents to oppose such project is the idea that new construction will negatively impact property values. This is what this paper aims to investigate. The analysis is based on a complete recension of the new social housing projects built between 2000 and 2020 and on single-family house transactions that occurred between 2004 and 2020 in Quebec City (Canada). A repeated sales model integrating a difference-in-differences estimator is developed to isolate the net price premium related to the emergence of a new social housing building while accounting for the possible heterogeneity impact related to characteristics of the building, including the number of apartments and the type of clientele hosted as well as the local characteristics, such as the spatial concentration of social housing buildings and distance to the city center. The results show a complex net price premium rent function that leads to mixed conclusions and has important implications for the development of new social housing projects.","PeriodicalId":47744,"journal":{"name":"Housing Policy Debate","volume":"33 1","pages":"865 - 890"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41443766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors win. The scholarship wins. The reviewers win. The authors win because a fresh, independent assessment of how the research was conducted and presented can only build their scholarly capacities. Although responding to critics is sometimes unpleasant, honest authors must admit that it typically makes them better analysts and writers, and makes their papers stronger and more influential. Scholarship wins because the creativity, analytical rigor, expositional clarity, and practical utility of a research project are enhanced when more minds focus on it. The imprimatur of peer review bestowed on articles imparts confidence that what is being read is legitimate science, not “fake news.” The reviewers win because the process helps them stay current with the latest research publications, theoretical constructs, analytical approaches, quantitative and qualitative methodologies, and substantive findings. Reviewing hones their skills through the process of evaluating manuscripts that may vary widely in their logic, analytical rigor, organization, and exposition benefits. This last dimension of winners is in danger of being overlooked. Some institutions of higher learning are pressuring their younger faculty to avoid performing peer reviews, in the misguided notion that it interferes with publishing their own work. A more enlightened approach would recognize that peer reviewing is an essential element of productive scholarship. All scholars, but especially emerging ones, and the institutions that claim to support them should see peer reviewing as exceptionally beneficial to authors, scholarship, and, yes, the reviewers themselves.","PeriodicalId":47744,"journal":{"name":"Housing Policy Debate","volume":"33 1","pages":"1 - 1"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44301456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of changes in neighborhood characteristics and differential mobility pattern, between 2006 and 2019, individuals who originally lived in gentrifying neighborhoods experienced worse changes in MUAs, ADI, and Walkability Index but a greater improvement in exposure to air pollutants. The negative changes are driven by movers, while stayers actually experience a relative improvement in MUAs and ADI and larger improvements in exposure to air pollutants.

Striking similarities were found between non-experimental estimates based on MTO and PSID.
