Thomas Thibodeau – författare

This volume contains a special issue of the "Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics", comprising 13 articles on house price measurement. These articles address the various procedures used to compute cross-sectional or temporal house price indices. Specifically, these articles contain research that: evaluates hedonic, repeat sales, or hybrid approaches to constructing house price indices; evaluates alternative sources of data on house prices and corresponding housing characteristics; identifies the most influential land, structural, neighborhood, and proximity determinants of house prices (and associated changes in house prices); provides a methodology for identifying housing market segments; incorporates spatial autocorrelation in house price indices; and provides more accurate estimates of the variance in house prices.
