This research analyzes spatial and temporal variation in the effects of lot size and proximity to open space on residential home values in a single Tennessee county. The findings show that the value of proximity to greenways, parks, and water bodies increased over time, while the value of lot...

Trading in water pollution reduction credits, or “water quality trading,” (WQT) has been touted as a cost-effective solution to water quality impairments caused by nutrients and other oxygen-demanding pollutants. However, trading programs require buyers and sellers to be successful. Whether...

This study evaluates spatial variation in the relationship between agricultural output and input use across Turkey. The potential impact of the national agricultural policy reform introduced in 2001 on the spatial variation in agricultural output elasticities across the country was explored. By...

This research analyzes amenity values of spatial configurations of forest landscapes over space and time in the Southern Appalachian Highlands using geographically weighted regression (GWR) in a hedonic housing-price framework with a census-block group (CBG) dataset. Results show that...

This research disentangles the relationship between Wildland--Urban Interface (WUI) area and poverty in metropolitan areas of the Southern US where urban sprawl has intensified and high-poverty regions have persisted. Results confirm that the enlargement of WUI areas increases urban poverty,...

The objective of this research was to determine whether willingness to bear the negative externality from water quality impairment differs between those who do and those who do not receive economic benefit from the impairment source. Differences were tested using a hedonic analysis of ambient...

This research suggests that consumers' marginal willingness to pay for environmental landscape attributes, such as water view, developed open space and forest-land open space, decreased during the 2008 recession compared to the 2000-2006 real estate boom. Estimates were obtained from a spatial...

Municipalities sometimes reform property tax schedules in an effort to increase suboptimal residential densities. One such approach is to reduce the tax rate applied to building values and increase the tax rate applied to land, known as a two-rate property tax (TPT). This paper evaluates the...
