Abstract
It has become standard practice to estimate the value of amenities, such as environmental cleanliness, local school quality and crime, using hedonic valuations—typically changes in real estate prices. The accuracy of hedonic valuations depends critically on whether real estate prices adjust appropriately, which is difficult to verify. The 1994 Orange County, CA, bankruptcy offers a test of the accuracy of hedonic real estate valuations. Orange County's failed investment strategy resulted in unexpected county losses of $1.7 billion. In response, the aggregate value of Orange County real estate dropped by between $1.65 and $3.70 billion.
