ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This thesis considers a quantitative study of the effects of hurricane Charley on residential property values in Orange County Florida in the wake of the hurricane event. This thesis has a specific focus on the differences between the structure type of a residential property. A hedonic model is the basis of the analysis and in order to determine differences between properties and structure types a difference-in-difference model is used. The regression results show a discount in sales price regarding residential properties sold in the target area after the hurricane event, compared to properties sold in the control area. Additionally, results are found that properties with stone exterior walls sell at a discount within the target area in the wake of a hurricane event.
