The Spatial Spillover Effect of Land Development Program on Nearby Home Values
This study evaluates the impact of the Columbus, OH land bank program on neighboring housing prices since 2010 using a hedonic model.
It differentiates acquisitions by redevelopment type (garden vs. non-garden) and estimates effects at multiple time scales and distances.
Findings indicate a positive long-run spillover and a revealed preference for open space, highlighting the program’s role in neighborhood stabilization.

The Impact of WWII Bombings on Urban Redevelopment: Vienna, Austria
Using parcel-level records and nearest-neighbor matching, this project studies the long-term effects of WWII bombings on building height,
ownership patterns, and redevelopment dynamics in Vienna. Results show persistent increases in height and fragmented ownership in bombed areas,
alongside distinct post-war redevelopment trajectories.

The Impact of Land Bank Programs on Neighborhood Foreclosure Risks
A discrete-time duration model shows that land bank acquisitions reduce foreclosure likelihood in the short run—especially for nearby properties—
with effects attenuating over time and distance. Housing characteristics (price, age, LTV) also shape outcomes, underscoring the need for sustained
interventions for durable recovery.

Barriers to Adaptation: Satellite Evidence of Crop Progress Adjustments in China
We integrate satellite-derived NDVI with ground observations via ML to estimate crop growth stages at high spatial detail.
Results reveal heterogeneous adaptation to temperature shifts and the central role of information access—proxied by proximity to agro-meteorological stations—
in enabling agricultural resilience.
