Hurricane‐induced risk contagion in commercial real estate: Evidence from Hurricane Sandy
Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines how hurricane‐induced destruction affects the prices of nearby undamaged commercial real estate properties, using Hurricane Sandy as a natural experiment. Using Real Capital Analytics transaction records spatially merged with Federal Emergency Management Agency building‐level damage data, we empirically employ a difference ...
