Housing demand : an empirical intertemporal modelSchwann, Gregory Michael January 1987 (has links)
I develop an empirical model of housing demand which is based as closely as possible on a theoretical
intertemporal model of consumer demand. In the empirical model, intertemporal behavior by households is incorporated in two ways. First, a household's expected length of occupancy in a dwelling is a parameter in the model; thus, households are able to choose when to move. Second, a household's decision to move and its choice of dwelling are based on the same intertemporal utility function. The parameters of the utility function are estimated using a switching regresion model in which the decision to move and the choice of housing quantity are jointly determined. The model has four other features: (1) a characteristics approach to housing demand is taken, (2) the transaction costs of changing dwellings are incorporated in the model, (3) sample data on household
mortgages are employed in computing the user cost of owned dwellings, and (4) demographic variables are incorporated systematically into the household utility function.
Rosen's two step proceedure is used to estimate the model. Cragg's technique for estimating regressions in the presence of heteroscedasticity of unknown form is used to estimate the hedonic regressions in step one of the proceedure. In the second step, the switching regression model, is estimated by maximum likelihood.
A micro data set of 2,513 Canadian households is used in the estimations.
The stage one hedonic regressions indicate that urban housing markets are not in long run equilibrium,
that the errors of the hedonic regressions are heteroscedastic, and that simple functional forms for hedonic regressions may perform as well as more complex forms. The stage two estimates
establish that a tight link between the theoretical and empirical models of housing demand produces a better model. My results show that conventional static models of housing demand are misspecified. They indicate that households have vastly different planned lengths of dwelling occupancy.
They also indicate that housing demand is determined to a great extent by demographic factors. / Arts, Faculty of / Vancouver School of Economics / Graduate

A hedonic model for off-campus student housing : the value of location, location, location / Title on signature form: Hedonic model for off campus student housingFields, Terry J. 06 August 2011 (has links)
This study presents a hedonic model for off-campus student housing, using a semi-logarithmic model, with the natural log of unit rent as the dependent variable. Implicit values for select structural and locational characteristics were estimated, with a special emphasis on the variable of proximity to campus. Variable data for off-campus student housing in six university markets was collected. The results indicate a nonlinear relationship between rent and distance from the academic center of campus. Within one mile of campus, there is a significant premium for proximity, but between one and four miles from campus, the marginal value levels off before decreasing again beyond the four mile mark. The premium for being within one mile of campus ranged from 16.3% to 17%, and the discount for being outside four miles from campus equaled 13%. Other noteworthy characteristics and coefficients include the marginal value of an additional bedroom with a positive coefficient of roughly 21% and the inclusion of internet and cable with a premium of 12.4% to 15%. / Department of Family and Consumer Sciences
