Hedonic price theory: Concept and applications
Metz, W.C.; Lowry, J.; Morey, M. - 2008
Direct and indirect techniques are being used to estimate economic consequences of proximity to existing or proposed public facilities. The hedonic price theory, an indirect technique, is the most logically suited, especially for capturing the shadow or implicit price of a characteristic such as...
