Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results of a bottom up examination of the impact of airport noise on housing values. The primary objective of this assessment was to determine whether a valid national level determination regarding the impact of airport noise on housing values could be made based on studies at individual airports. The studies were not intended to obtain precise values of the noise impact on property values around the airports that were considered. An analytical approach was designed that combined quantitative and qualitative techniques in a way that complements each and overcomes some of the shortcomings of previous studies that exclusively used one technique or the other. In recognition of the fact that local conditions can significantly affect real estate markets, this approach makes extensive use of local realtors and appraisers who are familiar with the area and any unique factors that must be considered when assessing the value of residential properties. This approach was used around airports in three major metropolitan areas to determine if the approach was repeatable and verifiable, and whether it provided consistent and reliable results in terms of trends regarding the economic impact of airport noise on housing values. They were also intended to assess the reliability and accessibility of the data required for such analyses. It was concluded that this approach represents a viable method of examining the effects of airport noise on housing values at the national level. A correct application of sampling methods and the analytical technique can be used to establish the nationwide magnitude of the effect that airport noise has on property values, and may help decision makers determine national policy or guidelines regarding the impact of airport noise on housing values.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hedonic price method is used to estimate the relationship between residential property values and airport noise and proximity to the airport in the Reno-Sparks area. Empirical results suggest there is a statistically significant negative relationship between airport noise and residential property values, with the average home in areas where noise levels are 65 decibels or high selling for about $2400 less than equivalent homes in quieter areas. However, in direct contrast to the study by Tomkins et al.(1998) who found proximity to the Manchester airport to be an amenity, this study finds proximity to theReno-Sparks airport to have a significant negative value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meta-analysis is applied to the negative relationship between airport noise exposure and residential property values. The effect size in the analysis is the percent depreciation per decibel increase in airport noise, or the noise discount. Twenty hedonic property value studies are analyzed, covering 33 estimates of the noise discount for 23 airports in Canada and the United States. About one-third of the estimates have not been previously reported in the literature or were not included in previous meta-analyses. The weighted-mean noise discount is 0.58% per decibel. A meta-regression analysis examines the variability in the noise discounts that might be due to country, year, sample size, model specification, mean property value, data aggregation, or accessibility to airport employment and travel opportunities. The analysis indicates that country and model specification have some effect on the measured noise discount, but the other variables have little systematic effect. The cumulative noise discount in the U.S. is about 0.5% to 0.6% per decibel at noise exposure levels of 75 dB or less, while in Canada the discount is 0.8% to 0.9% per decibel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1978, The Valuation of Social Cost is concerned both with the idea, and with the practical problems, of placing monetary values on ‘intangible’, non-marketed goods, such as pollution, noise nuisance, personal injury, or the loss of home, neighbours or recreational benefit. A diverse range of contributors critically assess both the theoretical issues and the practical attempts made by economists and others to ‘monetise’ items which cannot be bought or sold. Each section contains a comprehensive literature review and a detailed critical appraisal. Despite being written in the late 70s, this book discusses issues which retain significant importance today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, environmental issues have taken a prominent position among the concerns expressed by many members of society. One such environmental issue is the problem of aircraft noise. As the air transportation industry has increased in size, the frequency and magnitude of noise endured by individuals living in proximity to airports or along aircraft flight paths has also increased. In the broadest context, aircraft noise can be considered to be an external diseconomy that reduces the utility levels of individuals residing near airports. The existence of an external diseconomy can lead to an inefficient allocation of resources with too much air transport service and too little noise abatement being provided to society. To determine an efficient allocation of resources, or at least what constitutes a movement towards efficiency, requires that it be possible to measure the costs of aircraft noise, or conversely the willingness to pay for quiet. This thesis provides both a theoretical and an empirical framework in which the problem of aircraft noise can be analyzed. Thus, the main emphasis of the thesis is twofold. First, a theoretical model capable of measuring the willingness to pay for quiet is formulated through a review and assessment of previous studies into the problem of environmental pollution. It is found that an analysis of expected changes in residential property values can be used to determine the willingness to pay for exogenous changes in the level of quiet provided that the area affected by the change is "small and open". Secondly, empirical estimates of the willingness to pay for quiet are derived using data from the Edmonton Industrial Airport and the City of Edmonton. This is accomplished by using the hedonic regression technique. House prices are regressed against a vector of housing characteristics, quiet included, so that the implicit marginal price of quiet is derived. This marginal price is then utilized, in a manner superior to previously used techniques 3 to calculate an estimate of the willingness to pay for changes in the level of quiet. The theoretical and empirical results are then used to assess policies designed to deal with the problem of aircraft noise that are currently in effect in the City of Edmonton.

This book was released on 2008-09-20 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are growing worldwide and their sprawl is increasingly challenged for its pressure on open spaces and environmental quality. Economic arguments can help to decide about the trade-off between preserving environmental quality and developing housing and business surfaces, provided the benefits of environmental quality are adequately quantified. To this end, this book focuses on the use and advancement of the “hedonic approach”, an economic valuation technique that analyses and quantifies the sources of rent and property price differentials. Starting from theoretical foundations, the hedonic approach is applied to the valuation of natural land use preservation and noise abatement measures, as well as to residential segregation and discrimination, extending the analysis to the role of the buyers and sellers' identity on housing market prices and to the issue of environmental justice.
