 The effect of local amenities on house price appreciation amid market shocks: The case of school qualityJournal of Housing Economics, 2017, vol. 36, issue C, 62-72 Abstract: Combining the strengths of price index and boundary fixed effects models, this paper examines the factors leading to spatial house price appreciation divergences during market shocks. Specifically, I focus on the relationship between school quality and house price appreciation rates during the period of rapid house price increases and decreases between 2000 and 2012. I find that appreciation rates diverge across school districts in Franklin County, OH during the entire time period. Results identified through spatial-temporal boundary controls provide evidence that standardized test scores positively drive this relationship during the housing market decline in the latter half of the period from 2007 to 2012; in contrast, there is no overall relationship between school quality and appreciation rates during the preceding period of housing price increases from 2000 to 2006.
