Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to estimate the effects of the Colombian 2020 strike on housing prices in Cali. We use a database of advertised houses obtained using web scraping techniques on the website www.fincaraiz.com. We evaluate the impact of proximity to the location of blockages and protests. We apply a difference-in-difference hedonic price model to estimate pre- and post-impacts (Linden y Rockoff, 2008; Nowak y Sayago, 2019).
