Geostatistical model is one of spatial statistical methodologies used for correcting spatial autocorrelation problem. To apply this model, two common assumptions should be made to allow global homogeneity: spatial continuity and spatial stationary. In different fields of research such as...

The development of information and communication technologies (Internet, databases ...) reduces the barriers of investment. Consequently, investors now have a wealth of opportunities available for diversifying their real estate portfolio geographically. However, neighborhoods residential...

Geostatistics and spatial econometrics are two spatial statistical approaches used to deal with spatial dependence. Geostatistics estimates directly the variance-covariance matrix by assuming that the covariance among observations depends inversely on the distance between their locations, called...

The aim of this research is to study the determinants of the use of direct versus intermediated solutions on the French housing market.

The reversibility phenomenon in the repeat-sales index is a serious obstacle for derivatives products. This article provides a solution for this problem, using an informational reformulation of the RSI framework. We present first a theoretical formula (simple, easy to interpret, and easy to...

The presence of nearby public facilities has an impact on real-estate values; for this reason, the market may reasonably anticipate that public infrastructure projects will affect house prices. But undesirable and semi-desirable facility location choices may be contested by nearby residents, as...

The presence of nearby public facility contributes to real-estate’s value, that’s why the market may expect impact of public project on house’s price. But undesirable and semi-desirable facility location choices can be contested by close inhabitants, because they are source of negative...

This study examines the impact of real estate brokers on the price of residential properties sold in 2005 in twelve French cities. The results indicate that brokers increase the prices of properties they sell even though they appear to have heterogeneous behaviours across cities. The impact of...

For some years, real estate and finance have become more and more interlinked. The application of the powerful tools developed in finance for this field of knowledge seems promising ; mortgage valuation method developed by Kau, Keenan, Muller, Epperson (1992) being a major example of this. This...
