公众对在城市地区推广手机信号塔的压力越来越大，因此需要了解它们对邻近房价的影响。然而，一些现有的研究在方法上存在争议，结果也没有定论。因此，我们研究手机信号塔对房价的影响就是为了避免这些缺陷。采用空间特征房产评估模型对从布里斯班市议会内的两个郊区收集的房产交易数据进行了分析。估计模型具有统计显着性，并且与理论预期基本一致。结果显示，靠近手机信号塔会对房屋价值产生负面影响，随着与信号塔距离的增加，房屋价值会降低。因此，建议对附近业主制定适当的补偿计划作为适当的政策反应。
The growing public pressure against the spread of cell phone towers in urban areas has created a need to understand their impact on adjacent house prices. A few existing studies are, however, controversial in their methodology and inconclusive in their results. Therefore, our study on the effect of cell phone towers on house prices is designed to avoid these deficiencies. Property transaction data collected from two suburbs within the Brisbane City Council were analysed adopting the spatial hedonic property valuation model. The estimated models were statistically significant and were largely in line with theoretical expectations. The results revealed that proximity to cell phone towers negatively affects house values, decreasing as the distance from the tower increases. A suitable compensation programme for nearby property owners is, therefore, suggested as being an appropriate policy response.
