An evaluation of competing methods for constructing house price indexes: The case of Warsaw Land Use Policy (IF 5.398) Pub Date : 2022-06-14 Robert J. Hill, Radoslaw Trojanek
Accurate house price indexes allow governments and planners to make more effective decisions with regard to land use policy. We compare different ways of computing house price indexes for Warsaw over the period 2006–2018 using a detailed micro-level dataset of 101,182 transactions. We find that when a hedonic approach is used, the resulting index is reasonably robust to the choice of method. More problematic
