Abstract
  • This paper analyses what the effect of the Denver Enterprise Zone is on median housing values within Denver, CO. I study all values at the census tract level within the county. I compare the changes in median housing values between neighborhoods that are located in the Denver Enterprise Zone with those that are not between years 1990 and 2000 and between 2000 and 2010 to account for changes in the program and designation. This way I can look at if the implementation of the Enterprise Zone in Denver in 1986, just four years prior to my starting date, had any different impact on the trajectory of the housing values in the corresponding census tracts than those where the zone was not implemented. The results from regressing this comparison of changes in housing values between tracts in the zone and those not produced no statistically significant differences. The results in values were negative between 1990 and 2000 and positive between 2000 and 2010 but were not statistically insignificant.
