There exists an important methodological challenge when dealing with sale price and time‐on‐the‐market variables because both variables are simultaneously determined and related to the motivation of the sellers and buyers. Exploiting the fact that transactions occur over space and time, we...

Relationships between past events, future expectations and present decisions, typically examined through a temporal prism within applied economics, have been lately moving to the spatial dimension through spatial econometrics. However, violations of the “arrow of time”, and thus causality,...

For mass appraisal in real estate, the hedonic pricing method (HPM) tends to be most commonly used by academic researchers and the comparable sales approach (CSA) is mostly preferred by professionals. This paper shows how CSA is a constrained version of a spatial autoregressive (SAR) model,...

Our paper identifies and estimates the effects of R&D spillovers on total factor productivity with consideration of spatial effects. We first run our estimations on the Coe and Helpman (1995) model introducing spatial correlation. The results show positive R&D spillover effects on TFP and high...

This paper looks at the impact of the commuter rail transit (CRT) system that serves the Montreal North Shore area, Quebec, Canada, on the market value of single-family houses located nearby four stations along the Montreal/Saint-JÈrÙme route. The research rests upon a combination of...
