We propose inference tools to analyse the ordering of concordance of random vectors. The analysis in the bivariate case relies on tests for upper and lower quadrant dominance of the true distribution by a parametric or semiparametric model, i.e. for a parametric or semiparametric model to give a...

This paper is motivated by the limited ability of hedonic price equations to deal with spatial variation in house prices. Host (1999) divides spatial processes into low and high frequency components, inspiring the methods developed here. We further divide Host's low frequency spatial patterns...

This paper provides a new model to explain local variation in apartment rents by introducing the notion of a spatial process. This model differs from those in the literature by explicitly specifying spatial association between pairs of locations as a function of distance between them. Data on...
