Hedonic Price Analysis and Selectivity Bias: Water Salinity and Demand for Land
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hedonic valuation of quality attributes can be misleading when the assumption that these attributes are exogenous to sample selection is violated. This paper considers the simultaneity between hedonic valuation and sample selection in the context of a model of producer behavior and investigates empirically the case where land is demanded for use as an input either in agricultural production or in touristic development. The empirical analysis suggests that failing to correct for sample selection results in a biased valuation of the effect of water salinity on agricultural land. JEL Classification: Q15

متن کاملOn the Theory of Growth Controls
Numerous empirical studies have examined the effect of growth controls on housing prices.’ These studies have used many different techniques ranging from hedonic price model estimation to paired comparisons but have all come to the same conclusion: growth controls raise the price of housing.

متن کاملSpatial Hedonic Pricing Models for the Valuation of Irrigation Water
The main objective of this work is to apply the hedonic pricing method using the methodology of spatial econometrics in order to assess the economic value of irrigation water, as one of the individual attributes of the value of agricultural land parcels. Most of the agricultural land’s value attributes, like neighbor characteristics as well as the availability of irrigation water, exhibit a spa...
