Housing Market in Malaga: An Application of the Hedonic Methodology



log-linear model, representing the percentage of implicit prices provided by each attribute, and

the monetary value of those implicit prices calculated by the expression:
implicit price = βi e mean dependent vaπable

These implicit prices indicate marginal variations in housing prices, measured in Euros,
when increasing the corresponding continuous independent variable by one unit or when the
given attribute is present, in the case of dummy independent variables. The rest remain
constant for each case.
