A multivariate repeat-sales model for estimating house price indices

Article Abstract:

A multivariate repeat-sales model is developed that is able to separately control the effects of age and time, as well as other assets with changing attributes in the construction of price indices. The model can also be used to disentangle the price effect associated with the change in the age of the house from the price effect due to changes in the time between the sales of the property.
