Valuing Noise Pollution: Evidence from Flight Path Changes 1: Arizona State University, United States of America; 2: MIT, United States of America On September 18, 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration implemented new arrival and departure paths to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Overnight, aircraft noise increased in some residential neighborhoods and decreased in others. These changes occurred with no advance warning. We leverage this shock to provide causal evidence on the value of noise pollution. Our hedonic design uses data on houses that were sold both before and after the shock to identify households' willingness to pay---through housing prices---to reduce noise pollution. We find robust evidence that a one decibel increase in noise caused property values to decline by 1.2% | |
