  • Gradients in Spatial Response Surfaces With Application to Urban Land Values

    Anandamayee Majumdar, Henry J Munneke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…2006

    For point-referenced spatial data, we often create explanatory models that introduce regression structure with error consisting of a spatial term and a white noise term. Here we consider more flexible regression structures that allow spatially varying regression coefficients. The resulting mean becomes a spatial response surface that is a linear combination of the components of the spatially varying coefficient vector. Of possible interest in thi…

  • Spatial Modeling of House Prices Using Normalized Distance-Weighted Sums of Stationary Processes

    Sudipto Banerjee, Alan E Gelfand et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…2004

    Hedonic models are used almost universally for modeling house prices. Recognizing the importance of location, the past decade has seen increasing effort to introduce spatial considerations into such modeling. When spatial process models are used to capture association between locations, isotropic specifications have been used almost exclusively despite the fact that they seem unlikely to be appropriate in practice. The contribution of this articl…

  • Estimating Bargaining Power in the Market for Existing Homes

    John P Harding, Stuart S Rosenthal et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2003

    Although bargaining is common in markets for heterogeneous goods, it has largely been ignored in the hedonic literature. In a break from that tradition, we establish sufficient conditions that permit one to identify the effect of buyer and seller bargaining on hedonic models. Our model is estimated using a previously overlooked feature of the American Housing Survey that permits us to observe characteristics of both buyers and sellers. Results su…

  • Spatio-Temporal Modeling of Residential Sales Data

    Alan E Gelfand, Sujit K Ghosh et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…1998

    This article focuses on the location, time, and spatio-temporal components associated with suitably aggregated data to improve prediction of individual asset values. Such effects are introduced in the context of hierarchical models, which we find more natural than attempting to model covariance structure. Indeed, our cross-sectional database, a sample of 7,936 transactions for 49 subdivisions over a 10-year period in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, precl…

  • Estimating Capital Asset Price Indexes

    R Carter Hill, John R Knight et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1997

    This paper introduces an improved procedure for estimating capital asset price indexes. We jointly estimate conventional hedonic and repeat sales models via maximum-likelihood procedures, thereby taking advantage of the unique features of the individual models and using all the data that are available. Our model captures depreciation within the repeat sales model and accounts for serial correlation in hedonic data. The improvement in precision ob…

  • A Comment on Zoning, Returns to Scale, and the Value of Undeveloped Land

    Peter F Colwell, C F SirmansARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1993

    This paper revisits the relationship between land value and parcel size. The authors demonstrate that, using a simple arbitrage equilibrium argument, the value-size relationship is convex (concave) whenever land assembly (subdivision) is possible. They also explore further the impact of zoning on market outcomes. Copyright 1993 by MIT Press

  • Rents, Selling Prices and Financing Premiums

    Open AccessG Stacy Sirmans, C F SirmansARTICLEUrban Studies1991References: 6

    This paper examines the effects of below-market financing on rents and selling prices of residential income properties. A recursive model is used to estimate rent and price equations in order to determine the effect of favourable financing on each variable. The results indicate that below-market financing has a negative effect on rent and a positive effect on selling price. Average monthly rent per unit with below-market financing is about $43 le…

  • Creative Financing, House Prices, and Property Tax Inequities

    Open AccessG Stacy Sirmans, C F Sirmans et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies1987References: 4

    This paper examines the distortions in house prices caused by the use of creative financing and the horizontal and vertical inequities in property tax assessments that can result if the proper adjustment of prices for financing is not made. The results show that horizontal inequities exist across financing alternatives (i.e., between conventional and assumption financing). The results also indicate vertical inequities in house prices since the am…
