Urban Land Markets: Price Indices, Supply Measures, and Public Policy Effects

摘要

The anthology addresses techniques and approaches to monitoring the conditions and understanding the dynamics of urban land surrounding the development of metropolitan land price indices and suggest practical approaches to measuring changes in land prices. These approached include developing an urban land price index model, measuring urban land prices through multiple regression analysis of actual sales, creating a panel survey for constructing a metropolitan land price index, and establishing a land price index for the San Juan Metropolitan Area (Puerto Rico). A second group of papers describe public agency systems for monitoring land supplies with development potential and discuss the issues and problems involved in designing and implementing these monitoring systems. Concluding writings address issues regarding the effects of public policies on the land market.
