Data Resources for ICF Fellows:
Karl Case and Robert Shiller have collected data sets on prices of houses. The dataset provides a sample of homes that sold twice between
1970 and 1986 in each of four cities: Atlanta,
Chicago, Dallas,
and Oakland. It includes the first sale price, second sale price,
first sale date, and second sale date. This dataset is somewhat outdated, and of interest only to researchers.
