Despite a short line, it better connected existing lines and improved the connectivity levels of numerous stations across the city, as evidenced by connectivity indices. The improvement allowed residents living near those stations to access other places more easily, leading to greater convenience and higher home value in those stations' neighborhoods. Using difference-in-differences to compare housing price and connectivity changes in all neighborhoods with or without a station, we find that a 1% improvement in connectivity can increase local housing prices by 0.37%. The identification is anchored to the broad impact of the network reconfiguration, which was caused by the new transport infrastructure, on the connectivity changes in distant areas. Several techniques and tests enhance robustness. These include an estimation of the treatment boundary that defines proximity to stations, propensity score matching or weighting to mitigate sample imbalance, event study for the parallel trend, parameter sensitivity tests, etc. The research highlights that a small transport project can generate broad impacts on the whole city.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48196,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science and Urban Economics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 103897"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48012980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This pattern is surprising, given that the reduction in the commuting distance enabled by the tunnel is more than five times as large as that enabled by the bridges.

Results indicate that it is not simply the size of local refugee inflows which drives the increase in hate crime, but rather the combination of refugee arrivals and latent anti-refugee sentiment. We show that ethnically homogeneous areas, areas which experienced hate crimes in the 1990s, and areas with high support for the Nazi party in the Weimar Republic, are more prone to respond to the arrival of refugees with incidents of hate crime against this group.

We analyze how this data-sharing agreement affected hosts' behavior on the platform, using a difference-in-differences approach with Sweden as a counterfactual. We find that the agreement reduced hosts’ propensity to list property on the platform by 14%, while increasing listing prices by 11%. Our results indicate that platform exits were mostly limited to single-property hosts. In contrast, hosts with many properties and those in areas with initially low Airbnb penetration made their rental objects more often available and managed to increase the number of bookings.
