Abstract
Giglio et al. (2015a) use hedonic regression to estimate price differences on residential property of varying lease length in Singapore. To control for geographic heterogeneity, they specify five-digit zip code fixed effects that, in the city-state, are excessively tight. We show that in a cross-section of new condominium apartments sold between 1995 and 2015, over nine-tenths of five-digit zip codes displayed no within variation in lease length. We show how this matters when inferring the value households attach to housing many centuries into the future.
