Simulation and estimation of hedonic models
Heckman, James J. - 2003
Making use of restrictions imposed by equilibrium, theoretical progress has been made on the nonparametric and semiparametric estimation and identification of scalar additive hedonic models (Ekeland, Heckman, and Nesheim, 2002) and scalar nonadditive hedonic models (Heckman, Matzkin, and...

How do school district boundary changes and new school proposals affect housing prices
Ding, Xiaozhou; Bollinger, Christopher R.; Clark, Michael; … - 2020

Why do buyers pay different prices for comparable products? : evidence from the housing market
Siebert, Ralph; Seiler, Michael J. - 2020
We focus on the housing market and examine why nonlocal home buyers (NLBs) pay 15 percent more for houses than local home buyers (LBs). We estimate a housing demand model that returns heterogeneous willingness to pay parameters for housing attributes. Our results show that NLBs are willing to...
