The effect of the arena is isolated using a triple difference-in-difference approach. From the preferred model, net operating income per square foot is estimated to fall by an average of 3.7% for each 1,000 feet away a commercial parcel is removed from the arena. The average rent effect within 1 mile of the arena is further estimated to be US$2.71 per square foot. The implications of the findings are discussed %K arena %K commercial rents %K spatial %K economic impact %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1527002517723048
