House Prices in Australia: A Hedonic Analysis

房价是货币政策的重要投入，因为它们直接影响通胀，并可能成为投机泡沫的来源。然而，储备银行行长最近将住房描述为“所有价格数据中最薄弱的一环”。该项目将尝试解决这一问题。由此产生的指数应该会引起储备银行、媒体、房主、房地产行业的相当大的兴趣，并提高澳大利亚大学的声誉。他们还将量化房价上涨给年轻人带来的负担程度，以及由此给社会带来的压力。

House prices are an important input to monetary policy since they impact directly on inflation and may be a source of speculative bubbles. The Governor of the Reserve Bank, however, recently described housing as the ``weakest link in all the price data.'' This project will attempt to resolve this problem. The resulting indexes should be of considerable interest to the Reserve Bank, the media, home owners, the real estate industry, and enhance the reputation of Australian universities. They will also quantify the extent of the burden imposed on young people by rising house prices, and its consequent strain on society.
