The effect of environment on housing prices: Evidence from the Google Street View

Abstract: As Google Street View visually depicts areas with disparate social characteristics, we use them to analyze the effects of environmentally locational factors on housing prices by constructing a convolutional neural network model. Instead of manual classification and judgment, the model decomposes views' pixels then assigns latent scores for street views. This score factor can improve the interpretability and the prediction accuracy of hedonic models and machine learning models. We empirically show this score is… Show more

“…In cases where correlations between variables change over time and over different investment horizons, wavelet analysis allows simultaneous correlation analysis in the time and frequency domains [34][35][36]. It should be noted that methods such as DCC GARCH, enabling us to analyze in the time domain, do not allow for analysis in the frequency domain and therefore only allow the study of the covariance matrix in the time domain [37,38].…”

“…In housing research, it is crucial to explore the relationship between socioeconomic environments and human settlement. Bin et al (2020), Chen et al (2020), Fu et al (2019), Kang, Stice-Lawrence, and Wong (2021), Law et al (2019), Li et al (2021), Lyu et al (2022), Wang (2023), Wu et al (2022), Xu et al (2022), Yao et al (2018) and Ye et al (2019) utilised street views to estimate housing prices and proposed a neural networks-based methodology to address the issues that the economists had to manually categorise each view in the past and providing new insights into the assessment of human settlement values. Meanwhile, Johnson et al (2020), Kostic and Jevremovic (2020) and Qiu et al (2022) found that houses with better street or property design come at a price premium, meaning that proposed methods can efficiently describe visible characteristics.…”

“…The effectiveness of each alternative energy source should be evaluated based on its scalability, or the ability to increase its output to meet future demand [30]. This criterion should consider the technical and economic feasibility of scaling up each system as well as any potential environmental impacts associated with increasing the system capacity [31,32]. Therefore, scalability is considered as the fifth and final criterion in this study.…”
