A new paper on arXiv evaluates traditional and causal machine learning methods for estimating the price effects of environmental amenities on housing. The study uses an empirical Monte Carlo simulation with over a million property transactions to compare different regression techniques. Results indicate that generalized difference-in-differences (DID) regression generally outperforms baseline DID and fixed-effects models, while causal forest DID shows comparable performance and significant advantages in larger datasets.
