We utilize high frequency and dimensional data to investigate the valuations toward multiple types of environmental amenities based on machine learning techniques integrated with econometric models. Examples include using individual level transaction data to study the impact of environmental amenities on housing preferences and the impact of temperature fluctuations on human behaviors.
