Land Value and Parcel Size: A Semiparametric AnalysisDaniel P. McMillenUniversity of Illinois at Chicago - Center for Urban Real Estate Paul ThorsnesUniversity of Otago - School of Business - Department of Economics Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 1998 Abstract: We use a semiparametric estimator to analyze the relationship between land values and parcel size in a sample of 158 undeveloped parcels in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. The semiparametric estimator combines the benefits of parametric and nonparametric estimation. The value-size relationship is estimated nonparametrically, which permits the function to be linear, convex, and concave in different regions. A simple log linear parametric relationship is assumed for the rest of the model, which conserves degrees of freedom and simplifies hypothesis testing. Our semiparametric estimates do not reject log-linearity for the value-size relationship.
