The value of a park in crises: Quantifying the health and wellbeing benefits of green spaces using exogenous variations in use values

Using a representative household panel with precise geographical coordinates of households linked to satellite images of green spaces with a nationwide coverage, we employ a spatial difference-in-differences design, ...
