Bayesian Model Averaging in the Context of Spatial Hedonic Pricing: An Application to Farmland Values [PDF]
Since 1973, British Columbia created an Agricultural Land Reserve to protect farmland from development. In this study, we employ GIS-based hedonic pricing models of farmland values to examine factors that affect farmland prices.
