Nice to see our article on transit infrastructure and value capture with @arpitrage @UrbanIntelLab come out in JUE. Timely too. Govt. announced expansion of the Q train at a cost of $6 billion. Our research says: finance at least some of it with targeted property taxes.

Director of Civic Analytics, Constantine Kontokosta, is quoted: “The computing challenges are solvable,” he notes. “(T)he real uncertainty lies with how to integrate data-driven processes into public sector management.” @UrbanIntelLab
Planning, data and technology coming together with uncertain results is a new old story.

🚨New working paper!🚨
Joint work with @SVNieuwerburgh and @UrbanIntelLab: we find 1) Second Ave Subway expansion led to large commuting gains, 2) These were priced in real estate markets which went up, and 3) Gov property taxes recoup a fraction of this value increase

NYC subway expansion created $7 billion in real estate value and shortened subway commutes significantly. While private gains exceeded the cost, the government's share of the gains did not, from @arpitrage, @SVNieuwerburgh, and Constantine Kontokosta nber.org/papers/w26789
