Political Partisanship and Housing Supply in US Cities

Replication data supports the study 'Does Political Partisanship Affect Housing Supply? Evidence from US Cities' by Joseph Gyourko and Fernando Ferreira. The dataset, curated by the ICPSR Harvested Dataverse, provides the materials necessary to reproduce the analysis from the Journal of Urban Economics. Specific details on row count, column count, and file formats are unavailable.

Use Cases

• Replicate regression models analyzing the relationship between local political partisanship and housing supply metrics.
• Conduct spatial-temporal analysis of housing supply trends across US cities using the provided geographic identifiers.
• Validate the econometric findings on zoning policy outcomes and partisanship from the original paper.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Urban Economics, ensuring academic rigor.
• Dataset was last updated in February 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• The dataset's structure, including row count, column names, and file formats, is unspecified, complicating initial assessment.
• As replication data, its scope is limited to the variables and models tested in the original study, restricting novel analysis.
