Title: Crime Rates and Housing Prices: An Analysis Using Quantile Regression and Spatial Autocorrelation
Date: Friday, December 3, 2021
Time: 10:00-11:15 AM

Abstract: Crime is a disamenity, so buyers should be willing to pay more for a house (all else equal) in a low crime area. However the extant empirical studies provide only weak support for this notion. This result may in part be due to the substantial econometric issues and the multitude of other factors that drive house prices. This study examines the link between crime rates and prices of residential housing. Our data begin in 2008 and end in 2020 for the City Of Seattle, Washington, including all reported felonies (756,304), all recorded residential real estate transactions (79,094) including property characteristics, demographic data from 2008 to 2020 and the corresponding changes. We show that increased crime rates depress housing prices, but the impact is relatively small and becomes even smaller when we incorporate spatial autocorrelation, which we demonstrate generates a significant improvement in the hedonic pricing models. Furthermore, from our quantile regression estimates, we find that the negative impact of crime is stronger for lower priced housing.

Mechanical Engineering Seminar by Justice Iroegbu and Nathaniel Joyal
- Location: Charlton College of Business, Room 115,
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
- Description: Mechanical Engineering (MNE) SEMINAR
DATE:
Friday, December 3, 2021
TIME:
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
LOCATION:
Charlton College of Business (CCB) 115
SPEAKER #1:
Justice Iroegbu, MS student in Mechanical Engineering (Advisor is Dr. Caiwei Shen)
TOPIC:
Molecular Dynamics Study of Charge Distribution in Electric Double Layer Capacitors
ABSTRACT:
Supercapacitors have a major role to play in today's energy landscape. While lithium batteries have been a major breakthrough for energy storage in various devices and applications they are still plagued by limitations such as long charge times (low power density), safety due to electrolyte reactions leading to explosions and fires, amongst others. Some of these issues can be addressed by the development of alternative energy storage solutions which can drastically reduce charging times and are also much safer to use and store. This is where supercapacitors come in with fairly high energy density and very high power density. Some supercapacitors can be developed with solid state polymer electrolytes which would address the safety issue presented by liquid electrolyte systems. In our work we study and characterize electric double layer supercapacitors using experiments and particularly molecular dynamics simulations to understand the ion distribution at the electrode – electrolyte interface and other phenomena pertaining to the operation and performance of EDLCs.
SPEAKER #2:
Nathaniel Joyal, MS student in Mechanical Engineering (Advisor is Dr. Caiwei Shen)
TOPIC:
Composite All-Solid-State Supercapacitors for Structural Energy Storage Applications
ABSTRACT:
Increasing reliance on mobile devices and vehicles has generated the need for larger power supply systems to meet the demands of the user, be it a phone's battery life or vehicle range. The larger power needs have increased the size of many electrical devices, expanding the structural components of the devices as well, with the two making up the largest share of the mass of most devices. A solution to this issue is the development of multi-functional energy storage composites, namely structural supercapacitors for their good power density, high cyclability, and safety. This presentation examines the development of structural supercapacitors with good energy storage and mechanical properties created through the formation of a solid solution of thermoplastic polymers and lithium salts. Firstly, the creation, characterization, and optimization of a functional all solid-state electrolyte is conducted. Secondly the formation, testing and optimization of a functional composite prototype using an improved electrolyte system.
