We build on the intuitive (static) modeling framework of Rosen (1974) and specify a simple forward-looking model of location choice. We use this model, along with a series of insightful graphs, to describe the potential biases associated with the static approach and relate these biases to the...

We provide the first evidence that spatial variation in all-cause mortality risk is capitalized into US housing prices. Using a hedonic framework, we recover the annual implicit cost of a 0.1 percentage-point reduction in mortality risk among older Americans and find that this figure is both...

The hedonic model of Rosen (1974) has become a workhorse for valuing the characteristics of differentiated products despite a number of well-documented econometric problems. For example, Bartik (1987) and Epple (1987) each describe a source of endogeneity in the second stage of Rosen's procedure...

The hedonics literature has often asserted that if one were able to observe the same individual make multiple purchase decisions, one could recover rich estimates of preferences for a given amenity. In particular, in the face of a changing price schedule, observing each individual twice is...
