Using Twitter data, we build a comprehensive novel dataset of georeferenced tweets to identify anti-Muslim fake news. First, we document that fake news about Muslims intentionally spreading the virus spiked after March 30. Then, we investigate the geographical and historical determinants of the spread of fake news in a difference-in-difference setting.

We find that fluctuations in the number of buyers demanding homes explain much more of the variation in home sales and price growth than do fluctuations in the supply of homes for sale. In our preferred paramaterization, fluctuations in demand explain essentially all of the variation in home sales, and most of the variation in prices. We consider two implications of these results. First, we show that reduction of supply was a minor factor relative to an increased number of buyers in the tightening of housing markets during COVID-19. New for-sale listings would have had to expand 30 percent to keep the rate of price growth at pre-pandemic levels given the pandemic-era surge in demand. Second, we estimate that the number of buyers demanding homes is very sensitive to changes in mortgage rates, even more so than comparable estimates for home sales, suggesting that policies that affect housing demand through mortgage rates can influence housing market dynamics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Economics","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 103610"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138472597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
