Abstract Using detailed housing transactions data from the Netherlands covering more than two decades, we examine the disamenity effect associated with the opening of refugee centers (RCs). We show that the opening of an RC decreases local house prices by 5.8%. The effect has become stronger in the past decade, in line with an increasing share of nationalist votes. Using micro-data on home buyers’ characteristics, we further identify households’ preferences. The results show that the willingness to pay is more negative for larger RCs and more positive for foreign-born individuals. The latter is indicative of a more positive attitude of foreign-born individuals toward refugees.

分裂的世界：难民中心、房价和家庭偏好

摘要使用来自荷兰超过二十年的详细住房交易数据，我们研究了与开设难民中心 (RCs) 相关的不利影响。我们表明，RC 的开放使当地房价下降了 5.8%。随着民族主义选票比例的增加，这种影响在过去十年中变得更加强烈。利用购房者特征的微观数据，我们进一步确定了家庭的偏好。结果表明，对于较大的 RC，支付意愿更为消极，而对于外国出生的个人而言，支付意愿更为积极。后者表明外国出生的人对难民的态度更为积极。
