讲座内容简介：
This paper studies the impact of bike sharing on house prices. We combine the order-level records of a major sharing bike company with the house-level listing data and the Baidu Map point-of-interest (POI) data. We find that bike sharing, by itself, negatively affects house prices. However, the interaction of bike sharing with subway stations has a positive effect, indicating that bike sharing is a good solution to the “last-mile” problem. Combined together, the net house price premium caused by bike sharing is 1.5% for an average house listed three months after the launch of sharing bikes. However, unlike subway stations, the interaction between bus stations and bike sharing does not lead to a house premium. Finally, at an aggregate level, the net effect of sharing bikes is positive (negative) in zones that are close to (far from) the city center. This is consistent with our micro-level findings, considering that the density of subway network decreases with the distance from the city center.
