Hedonic price indexes for united kingdom cars
When data on new and surviving models are used in the estimation of hedonic price equations, a variety of quality-adjusted price indexes decline at about 30% per year, with a particularly large We calculate hedonic price indices for the UK car market and eight market segments within it: mini/supermini, small, medium, executive, luxury, sports, 4 4 and personal carrier (PC). Our research uses a data-set that allows us to improve past research into the hedonic prices of cars in three ways.

We show that hedonic price indices that omit model-specific unobservable product attributes are subject to considerable bias. We utilize a complete panel of new car versions marketed in the UK over 1971-98 which incorporates over 100 observable product characteristics, sales weighting to capture the distribution of purchases across models, and model-specific fixed effects to account This paper evaluates the effects of quality change on the price index for new passenger cars in Portugal for the years 1997–2001. Hedonic regression models are studied, giving particular emphasis to the relation between the form of the price index and the econometric techniques used for inference.

Following some general reflections on hedonic elementary price indices, this paper proposes a case-based, a model-based, and a wild bootstrap approach for estimating confidence intervals for hedonic price indices. Empirical results are obtained for a data set on used cars in Switzerland.

We show that hedonic price indices that omit model-specific unobservable product attributes named hedonic method, which related car prices to the relevant car characteristics, with the final objective of constructing a quality-adjusted price index for the automobile market in the US. However, it was not until Griliches’s work in 1961, also applied to the car market, that the hedonic approach became widespread.
The aim of this paper is to establish whether these labels have an impact on the price of new cars in Switzerland. Using a hedonic regression model, we show that the reliability label influences the price. More precisely, a decrease by one per thousand of the breakdown’s probability increases, on average, the car price by 639 Swiss francs.
