This paper contributes to understanding how natural disaster-induced migration shapes housing markets and the dimensions in which climate refugees differ from other migrants.

Importantly, these effects were primarily driven by migrants from more severely eroded areas, suggesting that migrants' economic vulnerability upon arrival was the key factor influencing housing these market outcomes.

Moreover, we find spillover effects, with non-migrant properties near Dust Bowl settlers also experiencing lower price appreciation.

Properties inhabited by Dust Bowl migrants experienced substantially lower price growth over the decade compared to similar addresses within the same small neighborhood inhabited by other internal migrants.

The paper studies how the influx of migrants fleeing the Dust Bowl affected housing dynamics in Los Angeles, the primary destination for these climate refugees. We find significant direct and spillover effects of Dust Bowl migration on Los Angeles housing markets.

In this paper, we investigate the impact of climate-induced migration on residential real estate markets. Specifically, we focus on the American Dust Bowl, a period of severe drought and dust storms that ravaged the Great Plains during the 1930s, forcing a mass exodus of residents.

Natural disasters have been increasing in intensity and frequency, displacing millions of people across the globe and pushing them to seek refuge elsewhere. How does the arrival of natural disaster-induced migrants shape neighborhoods and housing markets?
