Der vorliegende IW-Wohnindex untersucht die Entwicklung der Kauf- und Mietpreise für Wohnimmobilien in Deutschland. Der Kurzreport erscheint vierteljährig. Auf der Basis von mehreren Millionen Wohnimmobilieninseraten werden Ergebnisse eines hedonischen Preisindex veröffentlicht. Betrachtet...

We apply additive mixed regression models (AMM) to estimate hedonic price equations. Non-linear effects of continuous covariates as well as a smooth time trend are modeled non-parametrically through P-splines. Unobserved district-specific heterogeneity is modeled in two ways: First, by location...

The application of hedonic price approaches to obtain estimates of the households' value of apartment characteristics is invalid for regulated housing markets such as public housing. We introduce and apply an alternative method that allows us to estimate renters' marginal willingness to pay for...

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...
