Defining housing market areas using commuting and migration algorithms.Catalonia (Spain) as an applied case study

摘要: In the literature on housing market areas, different approaches can be found to defining them—for example, using travel-to-work areas and, more recently, making use of migration data. This paper proposes a simple exercise shed light which approach performs better. Using regional data for Catalonia, in Spain, are computed with both commuting and order decide procedure shows superior performance, uniformity prices within is examined. The main finding that algorithms present homogeneous terms prices.
