Noisy Neighborhood but Nice House? Pollution and the Choice of Residential Location and Housing Quality
研究机场运营合同续签公告如何影响高收入家庭对噪声污染区的居住选择，发现公告后高收入家庭迁出噪声区，但仍留在该区的家庭选择了质量更好的住房。
This study analyzes how information about noise pollution affects 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 after the announcement selected homes of better quality. These results help reconcile mixed findings on residential sorting in the literature. <i></i>
