  • a The matching process required exact match on transaction year. In addition, this one-on-one-with-replacement matching also requires exact matching on coastal proximity bands (three bands defined coastal proximity percentiles), neighborhood category, and mortgage status. Note that the matching process in the convenient models do not involve ocean view variables.
