    Solution

    Hedonic pricing is a method used for environmental valuation that estimates the value of the environment by analyzing market prices of goods and services. For example, a home close to parks or schools may sell for a premium. Meanwhile, a home right on a major highway may sell for less. Hedonic pricing uses regression to see which factors matter the most and each’s relative importance.
