IEB Report 1/2023: Fútbol y economía

Si leemos la prensa y los comentarios deportivos, creeremos que los grandes eventos del deporte son siempre una gran idea para las ciudades y para los países organizadores, que cambiar al entrenador cuando los resultados van mal es una necesidad obvia o que el equipo que chuta primero en la tanda de penaltis lo tiene hecho.

2023/05: Real estate prices and land use regulations: Evidence from the law of heights in Bogotá

Between 2015 and 2017, the Law of Heights (Policy-562) regulated areas of urban renewal in specific locations of Bogotá (Colombia). Using a novel dataset based on detailed information at the block level between 2008 and 2017, we study whether this policy affected real estate prices. Our empirical strategy compares the price per square meter before and after Policy-562 in treated blocks and in control blocks with similar pre-treatment traits. Results show that prices increased more in treated blocks than in the rest of the city. We also provide evidence that results are heterogeneous from a temporal, land use and strata point of view.
