The relationship between housing prices and transport improvements : a comparison of metropolitan and rural areas in a large but thinly populated European country
Vinnugrein / Working paper In this paper, I examine the relationship between housing prices and transport improvements. Due to the general consumer preference for access over amenity value, there is a relationship between distance and house prices. Thus, it is reasonable to believe that transportati...
