This study evaluates the impact of the Columbus, OH land bank program on neighboring housing prices since 2010 using a hedonic model. It investigates the effects of land bank acquisitions and redevelopment (garden vs. non-garden) on nearby property values at varying time scales and distances. The findings show a positive long-term spillover effect and a preference for open spaces, highlighting the land bank program's role in stabilizing neighborhoods and enhancing property values in urban areas.
This study examines the long-term effects of WWII bombings on urban redevelopment and property ownership in Vienna, Austria. Using parcel-level data and nearest neighbor matching, we assess the impact of bombing on building height, ownership patterns, and private ownership. The findings reveal significant post-war increases in building height, fragmented ownership, and private ownership in bombed areas. Additionally, we explore redevelopment trends using building permits, uncovering a relationship between bombing, property characteristics, and redevelopment dynamics.
This study uses a discrete-time duration model to evaluate the impact of land bank acquisitions on foreclosure risk in Columbus, Ohio. Findings show that land bank interventions reduce foreclosure likelihood in the short term, particularly for nearby properties, though the effect diminishes over time and distance. Housing characteristics like price, property age, and loan-to-value ratios also influence outcomes. The study underscores the importance of land banks in neighborhood stabilization and highlights the need for sustained interventions to support long-term recovery.
This study explores the impact of climate change on agriculture in China, focusing on how crop progress adjusts to changing conditions. Using advanced machine learning to integrate satellite-derived NDVI data with ground observations, the researchers create a high-resolution dataset to estimate crop growth stages. The analysis reveals significant regional differences in adaptation to temperature changes and highlights how proximity to agro-meteorological stations affects farmers' ability to adjust. The study emphasizes that information access is critical for enhancing agricultural resilience, suggesting the need for targeted policies to support adaptation in China's diverse agricultural regions.
