{"product_id":"environmental-equity-in-silicon-valley-von-james-peyton","title":"Environmental Equity in Silicon Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1980s and early 1990s, information about  groundwater contamination in Silicon Valley became  widely available. While many residents already knew  of the twenty-three groundwater contamination plumes  from facilities connected to the computer industry,  the more detailed maps distributed during this time  provided new information on the extent of the  contamination. This research examines the Santa  Clara County housing market in 1992-93 and analyzes  the environmental equity outcomes of market  transactions. Applying the tools of spatial  econometrics, it explores the variations in price  impacts of proximity to the plumes across  demographic groups. The full research process is  presented here, and the steps in the analysis are  carefully elaborated. While the study finds only  weak evidence of a relationship between neighborhood  ethnicity and price impacts, it does find  statistical evidence of inequities in the  information available to different language  communities. This book will be useful to those  readers interested in environmental economics,  spatial econometrics, housing market economics, and  environmental equity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838319575\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Study of Superfund Sites and the Santa Clara County Housing Market\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838319575","offer_id":39498919379037,"sku":"9783838319575","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/50bdb77a-5d42-425c-8518-cb2cc728b978.jpg?v=1775628876","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/environmental-equity-in-silicon-valley-von-james-peyton","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
