Abstract

McArthur D. P., Osland L. and Thorsen I. Spatial transferability of hedonic house price functions, Regional Studies . The aim of this paper is to investigate whether it is possible to use parameter estimates from a hedonic function estimated in one region to make reliable predictions in another region. Two regions in south-west Norway are taken as the example. Focus is placed on the stability and transferability of parameters attached to two measures of spatial structure: proximity to the central business district (CBD) and accessibility to the labour market. In making this judgement, classical statistical tests are employed alongside equivalence testing. The conclusions are that predictions made using transferred spatial structure parameters were equivalent given the chosen tolerance level. McArthur D. P., Osland L. et Thorsen I. La transf�rabilit� g�ographique des fonctions h�doniques des prix du logement, Regional Studies . Cet article cherche à examiner si, oui ou non, on peut employer des estimations param�triques à partir d'une fonction h�donique estim�e dans une r�gion particulière afin de pr�voir exactement dans d'autres r�gions. Deux r�gions situ�es dans le sud-ouest de la Norvège servent d'�tudes de cas. On met l'accent sur la stabilit� et la transf�rabilit� des paramètres attach�s à deux mesures de la structure g�ographique: la proximit� de la zone commerciale centrale (Central Business District; CBD) et l'accessibilit� du march� du travail. En prononcant ce jugement, on emploie des tests statistiques classiques conjointement avec des tests d'�quivalence. On conclut que les pr�visions faites à partir des paramètres transf�r�s de la structure g�ographique �taient �quivalentes �tant donn� le niveau de tol�rance choisi.

Räumliche Übertragbarkeit von hedonischen Hauspreisfunktionen, Regional Studies . In diesem Beitrag wird untersucht, ob sich Parameter-Schätzungen einer hedonischen Funktion, die in einer Region vorgenommen wurden, für zuverlässige Prognosen in einer anderen Region nutzen lassen. Als Beispiel dienen zwei Regionen im Südwesten Norwegens. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Stabilität und Übertragbarkeit der Parameter für die beiden Maßstäbe der Raumstruktur: die Nähe zum zentralen Geschäftsdistrikt und die Zugänglichkeit des Arbeitsmarkts. Für dieses Urteil kommen klassische statistische Tests gemeinsam mit Äquivalenztests zum Einsatz. Wir kommen zum Schluss, dass Prognosen, die mit Hilfe von übertragenen Parametern der Raumstruktur vorgenommen wurden, innerhalb des gewählten Toleranzbereichs äquivalent ausfielen.
