Abstract
An innovative and simple experiment with cross-section data ordering is carried out to exploit a basic feature between many economic variables – nonlinear scale dependence. The experiment is tried on hedonic price models using two data sets for automobiles and computers respectively. The key findings are: (1) Hedonic price indices can be significantly biased if they are constructed using models which disregard possible nonlinear scale effects latent in data samples; (2) Scale-based data ordering offers considerable potential to filter such scale-dependent information from cross-section samples; (3) The filtering can be easily carried out by systematic adoption of dynamic modelling methods.
