Health Crisis and Housing Market Effects - Evidence from the U.S. Opioid Epidemic

Abstract: We present evidence on the effect of a public health crisis on housing markets through the lens of the recent opioid crisis in the U.S. Using data on opioid prescriptions and repeat sales in Ohio, we find that house price changes around opioid dispensaries are negatively associated with the quantity of opioids dispensed. To explore a causal inference, we use a potentially cleaner measure of supply that is based on vertical integration. We estimate that a one standard deviation increase in the standardized numb… Show more

“…The results indicate that the prices will fall by 0.207% with 1% rise in cases. This result is supported previous researchers such as D’Lima and Thibodeau (2020), Liu and Tang (2021), McCord et al (2022) and Qian et al (2021), who stated that the higher the contingency rate, lower were the housing prices, but these effects were short-lived and varied across cities. However, with a 1% decline in cases, the housing prices starts rising at a rate of 0.98%.…”

“…This is an important finding, as it distinguishes the impact of onset of COVID-19 from the peak and its impact on the housing market of India. In addition, previous researchers such as D’Lima and Thibodeau (2020), Qian et al (2021), Liu and Tang (2021) and McCord et al (2022) found that the higher the contingency rate, the lower were the housing prices, but these effects were short-lived and varied across cities. This adversely affected the housing market, which was already suffering due to low income and rising unemployment.…”

“…To provide relevant information about data usage, the visualization shows three recent scholarly publications using the ARCOS dataset. For instance, the study by [24] presents new evidence that changes in house prices near drug dispensaries are negatively correlated with drug quantities. A user might then check the ACS dataset, which is the American Community Survey about households.…”
