    https://doi.org/10.5392/JKCA.2020.20.06.717 중공업 오염원이 부동산 가격에 대한 미치는 영향 중국 마안산시 중심으로 The Impacts of Heavy Industrial Pollution Sources on The Real Estate Price Evidence from Maanshan City, China 왕윤동, 장쯔신, 황수 건국대학교 부동산대학원 Rundong Wang([email protected]), Zhixin Zhang([email protected]) Shuai Huang([email protected]) 요약 현대사회의 환경오염 문제는 공업화에 따라 급격하게 변화하고 있기 때문에, 환경오염 문제는 다양한 분야 에 직간접적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 중공업 오염원은 입지 선택과 부동산 가치에 주요한 변수로 작용될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중국의 대표적인 철강 도시인 마안산시에 있는13개 아파트 단지의 거래 데이 터에 기반하고 헤도닉 가격 모형 (HedonicPrice Model)을 이용해서 환경오염 중에 중공업 오염을 중심으로 부동산 가격에 대해서 미친 영향을 연구했고 결론을 내렸다. 연구 결과는 주택에서 오염원의 거리가 멀어 질수 록 주택 가격에 인상 효과가 있다. ■ 중심어 :∣중공업 오염∣헤도닉 가격모형∣주택가격∣중국∣ Abstract As the environmental pollution problem in modern society is rapidly changing with industrialization, the environmental pollution problem has a direct or indirect effect on various fields. In particular, heavy industry pollutants can be a significant variable in site selection and realestate value. Therefore, this study is based on transaction data of 13apartment complexes in Maanshan City, a representative steel city in China, and uses the Hedonic Price Model to study the effect on real estate prices, mainly on heavy industry pollution during environmental pollution. The conclusion shows that the farther away from the source of pollution, the higher values are. ■ keyword :∣Heavy Industry Pollution∣Hedonic Price Model∣Housing Price∣China∣ I.

This estimate is derived from quasi-experimental variation in PM10 generated by China’s Huai River Policy, which provides free or heavily subsidized coal for indoor heating during the winter to cities north of the Huai River but not to the south. The findings are derived from a regression discontinuity design based on distance from the Huai River, and are robust to using parametric and non-parametric estimation methods, different kernel types and bandwidth sizes, and adjustment for a rich set of demographic and behavioral covariates. Furthermore, the shorter lifespans are almost entirely due to elevated rates of cardiorespiratory mortality, suggesting that PM10 is the causal factor. The estimates imply that bringing all of China into compliance with its Class I standards for PM10 would save 3.7 billion life years. * Ebenstein: Department of Environmental Economics and Management, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, [email protected].
