Announcement of the first metro line and its impact on housing prices in Bogot谩
This, co-authored by IER鈥檚 Dr Jeisson Cardenas-Rubio, analyses the impact of the First Metro Line's announcement on housing prices in Bogot谩, Colombia. It combines innovative databases, web scraping and Google Maps with administrative records—such as the Bogot谩 Urban Development Institute (IDU) databases—to assess how the announcement of the metro construction impacts on the rental or sales market prices for the houses surrounding the infrastructure projects.
