Abstract: Specification testing can be an effective method for addressing the considerable econometric problems present in hedonic models. In this article, the authors suggest the use of three different Hausman-type specification tests--tests for the hedonic price equation, each preference equation, and a system of equations--as a way of isolating the sources of misspecification in a hedonic model. Using a national data sample as an example, they illustrate the use of these tests to guide model specification in a simultaneous setting. Copyright 1991 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
