Q
Regional determinants of house prices:
Regional ECONOMIC drivers:
1. Location Quotient: 
LQj = (.....) / (....)
LQj > 1: j is a [.] (or [.] ) industry in the region.
LQj < 1: j is a [.] (or [.] ) industry. 
2. Employment multiplier
= .../....
=> Forecast how [..] in region change if employment in a [.] industry changes.
A

Regional determinants of house prices:
Regional ECONOMIC drivers:
1. Location Quotient:
LQj = (REj/RE_total) / (NEj/ NE_total)
LQj > 1: j is a BASIC (or DRIVER) industry in the region.
LQj < 1: j is a SUPPORTING (or SERVICE) industry.

  1. Employment multiplier
    = Total employment in region / Employment in base industries in region
    => Forecast how total employment in region change if employment in a basic industry changes.

Q

3 approaches of Home valuation:
1. [.] comparison/ [.] approach:
Subject value estimate = […] +/- [..]

  1. [.] approach:
    Estimate = [.] value + New house cost - [.]
  2. Income approach:
    Estimate = GRM * [..]
    GRM = […] ~= 4-5% in UK.
A

3 approaches of Home valuation:
1. Sales comparison/ Market approach:
Subject value estimate = Comparable sales price +/- Feature differences

  1. Cost approach:
    Estimate = Land value + New house cost - Depreciation
  2. Income approach:
    Estimate = GRM * Rental Income
    GRM = Gross Rent Multiplier ~= 4-5% in UK.

Final appraisal:
Assign subjective weight to each of the 3 values from the 3 approaches.
