Great paper by Bian, @coulsoncommaed.bsky.social, and Sun just out in REE shows that immigration substantially increases (reduces) mean (variance) house-price appreciation. Effects are strongly heterogeneous by county education levels, age, racial attitudes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Great paper just out in Real Estate Economics by Andrew Bibler, @kteltser.bsky.social, and Mark Tremblay on the effects of SF’s Airbnb registration requirement. Quantities fell by a quarter and, interestingly, the effects were largest among professional hosts. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
