For mass appraisal in real estate, the hedonic pricing method (HPM) tends to be most commonly used by academic researchers and the comparable sales approach (CSA) is mostly preferred by professionals. This paper shows how CSA is a constrained version of a spatial autoregressive (SAR) model,...

Relationships between past events, future expectations and present decisions, typically examined through a temporal prism within applied economics, have been lately moving to the spatial dimension through spatial econometrics. However, violations of the “arrow of time”, and thus causality,...

This paper develops a theoretical and methodological framework that integrates Hedonic Pricing (HP), grid comparable sales approach (CSA), and nearest neighbors into a general spatiotemporal specification. By explicitly providing a theoretical justification for introducing spatial (or...

Spatial econometrics has been widely applied to Hedonic Pricing models in the literature to determine spatial spillover effects between house prices in close proximity. An approach is developed here to test for a short-run market expectations effect: the degree to which the expectations of...

"The objective of this book is to make a link between existing quantitative approaches... and the manner in which we can generalize thess approaches to cases where the available data for analysis have a spatial dimension."--
