https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2019-7-52-72
Abstract
This study estimates the relationship between school quality and housing prices in the regional centre of Russia using the case of Novosibirsk. We obtained a valuation of public response on school quality using “discontinuity design” approach. Results show that urban housing the case prices are affected by the quality of the assigned school and magnitude of this impact corresponds with the results of various researches in this area.
