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...

This paper is motivated by two common challenges in hedonic price modeling: nonlinear price functions, which require flexible modeling approaches, and the inherent spatial heterogeneity in real estate markets. We apply additive mixed regression models (AMM) to estimate hedonic price equations...
