Spatial Aggregation and Prediction in the Hedonic Model

Fulcher, Charles Michael - 2003

Using a data set of Wake County, North Carolina, property sales for the period 1992-2000, this study provides evidence as to the acceptability of spatial aggregation in hedonic property value models. Both statistical tests and tests based upon prediction errors are performed in order to identify...

A Spatiotemporal Fixed Effects Estimation of U.S. State-Level Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Burnett, J. Wesley; Bergstrom, John C. - 2011

One of the major shortcommings of past environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) studies is that the spatiotemporal aspects within the data have largely been ignored. By ignoring the spatial aspect of pollution emissions past estimates of the EKC implicitly assume that a region’s emissions are...

Determinants of Agricultural Cash Rents in Germany: A Spatial Econometric Analysis for Farm-Level Data

Breustedt, Gunnar; Habermann, Hendrik - 2009

This article analyses determinants for 2001 farmland rental prices from 4376 farms in Germany. We derive our regression equation from a spatial reaction function to allow for spatial transmission of rental prices. Results from a general spatial model show that a € 1 per hectare higher rental...

Parameter estimation of structural dynamic models using eigenvalue and eigenvector information

Allen, J.J.; Martinez, D.R. - 2008

Structural system identification methods are analytical techniques for reconciling test data with analytical models. The response data frequently used to compare a finite element model and test data are the eigenvalues of the system. However, eigenvalues alone cannot assure an adequate model....
