## Abstract Rosen's (1974) theory of hedonic prices is implemented econometrically using recently developed nonparametric techniques to examine the influence of qualitative factors on the price of a house. Our ability to smooth categorical variables leads to greater generalization in the valuation

## Abstract Recently, using mixed data on Canadian housing, Parmeter, Henderson, and Kumbhakar (__Journal of Applied Econometrics__ 2007; **22**: 695β699) found that a nonparametric approach for estimating a hedonic house price function is superior to formerly suggested parametric and semiparametri
Estimation of univariate regression functions from bounded i.i.d. data is considered. Estimates are deΓΏned by minimizing a complexity penalized residual sum of squares over all piecewise polynomials. The integrated squared error of these estimates achieves for piecewise p-smooth regression functions
