Abstract

Black and odorous water bodies (BOWBs) are increasingly common in cities worldwide. This article evaluates the impact of an urban water bodies restoration program in Beijing, China, based on detailed housing sale and rental transaction data. We implement a hedonic price model with a difference-in-difference and a triple-difference approach and find that listing and restoring a BOWB significantly increase house prices by 2.2%–3.9% and 2.3%–4.9%, respectively, and increases rents by 11.3%–13.7% and 13.4%–16.9%, respectively.
