Abstract

In this study, we examine the valuation impact of groundwater contamination from a gasoline storage site on the prices of nearby residential houses. Using both hedonic regression and traditional appraisal techniques, we estimate the average diminution in value to houses located in the vicinity of the contamination site.

Keywords: groundwater contamination, hedonic regression, pollution, property values
