Great dashboard implementation our methodology from @cep-lse.bsky.social @bsoeberlin.bsky.social research to illustrate microgeographic property prices and rents in Germany by @tagesspiegel.de. Try clicking on your postcode. 😀 interaktiv.tagesspiegel.de/lab/der-inte...
We revised our Skyscraper Revolution paper github.com/Ahlfeldt/DPs...
Added indirect inference to estimate the QoL effect of density by matching causal reduced-form estimates in the model => more realistic counterfactuals. Quick read @voxeu.org: cepr.org/voxeu/column... @bsoeberlin.bsky.social
