摘要
This article empirically models the effect of distance on residential property values of three different types of services, fire, police and emergency medical services. Interesting economic trade-offs emerge as service station proximity provides both amenity and disamenity effects. Using over three million home sales from the state of Florida along with two different measures of distance, this study provides evidence of nonlinear capitalization effects on local housing values. A difference-in-difference model utilizing new facility construction provides corroborating evidence of these findings.
