Hedonic regression is a method used to determine the value of a good or service by breaking it down into its component parts. The value of each component is then determined separately through regression analysis. See Lancaster K [1], Griliches Z [2,3] and Diewert [4-6] for detail discussions on the development and application of hedonic prices. In addition, Moulton [7] provides a information on...

A hedonic technique for calculating the consumer price index for second-hand cars was introduced in May 2003. The hedonic technique adjusts for quality by using regression analysis to measure the impact of product features on sale price. In this manner price changes that are due to quality shifts in specific features can be separated mathematically from “pure” price changes and purged. The foll...

We investigate price finding of buyers and sellers of Internet domains. We develop a hedonic model for domain prices, controlling for differences in domain quality along multiple dimensions and test the model empirically on a large dataset of domain transactions observed at secondary domain markets. We document differences in the implicit prices for selected domain attributes across different t...

The two primary approaches to estimate marginal willingness-to-pay (MWTP) are hedonic (Rosen, 1974) and discrete choice models (McFadden, 1974). This paper provides a tractable framework to investigate the relationship between MWTP in these models. By deriving the hedonic price gradient implicitly from the share function in the discrete choice model, I present an analytical mapping between the ...

Online shopping value involving perceived utilitarian value and perceived hedonic value affect consumer behaviour intention. Studies on the effects of Web site characteristics on online group buying behavior through online shopping value are scant. Thus, this study investigates the effects of information richness and navigation of GROUPON Taiwan Web site characteristics on online group buying i...

Entropy Methods for Identifying Hedonic Models This paper contributes to the literature on hedonic models in two ways. First, it makes use of Queyranne’s reformulation of a hedonic model in the discrete case as a network flow problem in order to provide a proof of existence and integrality of a hedonic equilibrium and efficient computational techniques of hedonic prices. Second, elaborating on ...

Why do chronic dieters often violate their dieting goals? One possibility is that they experience stronger hedonic responses to tempting food than normal eaters do. We scrutinized hedonic processing in dieters and normal eaters (a) by manipulating food preexposure and (b) by assessing both immediate and delayed hedonic responses to tempting food with an adapted affect-misattribution procedure. ...
