• Land use regulations and the value of land and housing: An intra-metropolitan analysis (2014, unknown): “…where evidence for the impact of land use regulations on housing prices is rather strong (Green et al., 2005; Huang and Tang, 2012; Saiz, 2010), predicted city level impacts of restrictions are less clear, especially on land prices (Glaeser and Ward, 2009; Ihlanfeldt, 2007; Ohls et al., 1974).”

• Is Home Sharing Driving up Rents? Evidence from Airbnb in Boston (2016, unknown): “Though some have argued that neighborhoods, as measured by census tracts, maybe be too small a geography at which to measure the full market response to a supply constraint (Glaeser and Ward, 2009; Sinai and Waldfogel, 2005) we choose to focus on the census tract to better identify the immediate imp”
• Upzoning Chicago: Impacts of a Zoning Reform on Property Values and Housing Construction (2020, unknown): “In comparing municipal regulations, for example, Glaeser and Ward (2009) show that stricter land-use controls are not correlated with differences in property prices when controlled for demographics and density, since there are sufficiently close substitutes available nearby.”
• Government intervention and land misallocation: Evidence from China (2017, unknown): “Some scholars support government intervention with respect to reducing the externalities of land use and regulating the landmarket (Brueckner, 2009); however, others suggest that this would induce distortion in the land market (Peng & Thibodeau, 2012; Glaeser & Ward, 2009; Jansen & Mills, 2011).”

• The Impact of Supply Constraints on House Prices in England (2016, unknown): “This is the setting that Glaeser and Ward (2009) argue applies to local municipalities within the Greater Boston area and that could explain their empirical finding that their measure of local land use regulation does not affect local house prices.”
