Hedonische Immobilienpreisindizes, die auf Transaktionsdaten basieren, stellen einen vielversprechenden Indikator für institutionelle Investoren dar. Ihr Vorteil ist, dass durch Qualitätsbereinigungen der Heterogenität der Immobilien besser Rechnung getragen werden kann. Üblicherweise gibt...

Rapid price decreases for ICT-products in the 1990s have been largely attributed to the introduction of hedonic price indexes. Would hedonic price indexing also have large effects on measured price and productivity during other technological breakthroughs? This paper investigates the impact of...

This paper analyzes house price data belonging to three hierarchical levels of spatial units. House selling prices with associated individual attributes (the elementary level-1) are grouped within municipalities (level-2), which form districts (level-3), which are themselves nested in counties...

La cuantificación de los beneficios de cualquier política dirigida a reducir la contaminación puede hacerse de distintas maneras. Una de ellas es a través de métodos indirectos, uno de los cuales es el de la valuación hedónica. La idea básica es que en el precio de los inmuebles se...

Industrial sites cause several negative externalities, such as traffic noise disturbance, congestion, and obstruction of view. In order to quantify the negative effects stemming from industrial sites, we estimate – using a hedonic pricing model – the impact of distance to industrial sites on...

Contemporary European urban planning policies aim to mix land uses in compact neighbourhoods. It is presumed that mixing land uses yields socio-economic benefits and therefore has a positive effect on housing values. In this paper, we investigate the impact of mixed land use on housing values...

In this paper we investigate the effects of new railway stations on house prices using an extensive repeated sales dataset over a period of 13 years. We employ semiparametric panel data techniques allowing for anticipation effects of station openings. We show that a kilometre reduction in...

This paper proposes maximum likelihood estimators for panel seemingly unrelated regressions with both spatial lag and spatial error components. We study the general case where spatial effects are incorporated via spatial errors terms and via a spatial lag dependent variable and where the...
