On nonparametric estimation of a hedonic price function
关于特征价格函数的非参数估计
Abstract Recently, using mixed data on Canadian housing, Parmeter, Henderson, and Kumbhakar ( Journal of Applied Econometrics 2007; 22 : 695–699) found that a nonparametric approach for estimating a hedonic house price function is superior to formerly suggested parametric and semiparametric specifications. We carefully reanalyze these specifications for this dataset by applying a recent nonparametric specification test and simulation‐based prediction comparisons. For the…
