TY - JOUR T1 - Noisy Neighborhood but Nice House? Pollution and the Choice of Residential Location and Housing Quality JF - Land Economics JO - Land Econ DO - 10.3368/le.97.4.042120-0058R1 SP - 042120-0058R1 AU - Samuel Lindgren Y1 - 2021/10/08 UR - http://le.uwpress.org/content/early/2021/09/28/le.97.4.042120-0058R1.abstract N2 - This study analyzes how information about noise pollution impacts neighborhood composition and households' choice of housing quality. I find that the announcement of a renewal of an airport operating contract induced high-income households to shift away from the zone exposed to airport noise. High-income households who still located in the airport noise zone post-announcement selected homes of better quality. These results help reconcile mixed findings on residential sorting in the literature. ER -
