Abstract: | Implicit hedonic prices of amenities are estimated by means of a study of the variation in house prices in Sydney. The results include estimated hedonic prices for aircraft noise, road traffic, road widening, good views, spacious streets, good access to shops, and high quality neighborhoods. Since hedonic prices are the response of the market at the margin to supply as well as demand forces, they do not necessarily reflect average household willingness to pay prices. However, the paper concludes that they provide a basis from which the values of amenities to be used in benefit cost studies can be estimated. |
