KRAFT: A Transaction-Level Dataset for Korean Apartment Sales Integrated with Contextual Indicators

Abstract

Apartment transaction records are useful for studying housing markets, household finance, regional economics, and macro-financial transmission, but transaction data are often distributed separately from contextual socioeconomic indicators. We present KRAFT, a nationwide transaction-level dataset of South Korean apartment sales from January 2015 to December 2024. The dataset contains 5,320,379 apartment sale transactions across all 17 Sido regions and includes transaction timing, administrative location, exclusive residential area, reported transaction price, floor level, and construction year. KRAFT also provides auxiliary indicators covering macro-financial conditions, demographic structure, education infrastructure, private education expenditure, housing price indices, consumer sentiment, and economic policy uncertainty. The released files are organized as year-specific transaction files and separate auxiliary data tables to preserve the original temporal and spatial resolution of each source. KRAFT supports reproducible research on apartment price modeling, regional housing-market comparison, housing-demand analysis, and links between housing transactions and socioeconomic context.

Identification in Linear Quantile Panel Models

This paper studies identification in linear quantile panel models with unrestricted individual heterogeneity when the number of time periods is fixed and small. We impose strict exogeneity, whereby the conditional quantile restriction holds given the individual's complete regressor history and latent individual effect, but otherwise allow the disturbances to be arbitrarily dependent over time.

Experimental Design for Policy Choice

We show how to optimally design experiments when the resulting data will be used to choose a welfare-maximizing policy subject to constraints. A decision maker seeks to maximize Bayes expected welfare by choosing a policy whose effects depend on an unknown finite-dimensional parameter. The decision maker has access to a first wave of experimental data with a fixed design but may choose the design of a second wave that will be collected before choosing the policy. The resulting experimental design--policy choice problem is a very high-dimensional dynamic program that is generally intractable in finite samples. We propose a tractable approximation based on the limit experiment and show it is asymptotically optimal using a new asymptotic representation theorem for adaptive experiments with continuous treatments. We apply the method to a conditional cash transfer experiment and demonstrate the potential for large gains from tailoring the experiment to the policy choice.

Designing Spatial Treatments

Spatial treatments are interventions assigned to locations potentially distinct from those of the responding units. We study their optimal design under a general model in which a unit's response diminishes with distance to a treated site. Our estimand of interest is an ``uncontaminated'' effect equal to the average impact of a single intervention site over all hypothetical sites. We propose a novel design based on a Mat\'{e}rn point process which separates treatments by a distance of at least $r$. A larger choice of $r$ reduces bias by separating interventions but increases variance by reducing their numerosity. We choose $r$ to maximize the rate of convergence of a Horvitz-Thompson estimator and prove that this is minimax rate-optimal. We provide weak conditions under which the estimator is asymptotically normal and propose a variance estimator.
