Definition: Time dummy variable (hedonic) approach

Category: Housing price statistics

One of the main hedonic regression approaches to constructing a (residential property) price index. In the standard log-linear time dummy variable model, the characteristics coefficients are constrained to be fixed over time, and the price index numbers can be directly computed from the time dummy coefficients (through exponentiation). http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/product?code=KS-RA-12-022&mode=view
