“…In the comparator countries, 67 percent of households own their home and the average time of residence is 34 years—21 percentage points and three years less, respectively, than in post‐communist countries. These patterns are consistent with the existing literature (Bloze ; Dübel, Brzeski, and Hamilton ; Stephens et al ). Furthermore, individuals in post‐communist countries are younger, with males being underrepresented more significantly than in the comparator countries, perhaps due to enlarged gender differentials in life expectancy in post‐communist countries, particularly in the FSU (Brainerd and Cutler ).…”

SUMMARY We study whether the positive effects of homeownership on political participation and social capital, found in developed market economies, extend to post‐communist countries. We use the privatization of publicly‐owned housing in post‐communist countries as an exogenous source of variation of homeownership status to identify its impact on political participation and social capital formation. We find that homeownership is strongly related to higher participation in local‐level and national elections. In post‐communist countries, homeownership is also related to higher social trust. However, the positive association between homeownership and volunteering found in developed market economies does not extend to post‐communist countries. Together, our results corroborate that homeownership is associated with positive social benefits. However, these effects are highly heterogeneous and context‐dependent.

“…This approach could be criticized on account of the long time-lag between the main privatization episodes, which occurred in 1990s and early 2000s, and our data. This may have allowed privatizers to sort after privatization Bloze (2009) and. Stephens, Lux, and Sunega, (2015), however, both point to the low liquidity and credit supply as well as the few transactions in post-communist housing markets.…”

“…Увеличение населения за счет миграционного притока приводило к более значительному повышению цен на жилье, чем аналогичное увеличение населения за счет естественного прироста. С другой стороны, в Нидерландах, Великобритании, Литве ограничения на жилищное строительство вызывают рост цен на недвижимость, что сдерживает рост численности населения агломерации Bloze, 2009). Исследования в США выявили наличие зависимости траектории развития агломераций (уровень занятости и номинальных зарплат, объема предложения и цен на жилье, миграционного притока и численности населения) от уровня жесткости регулирования строительства (Gyourko, Mayer, Sinai, 2013;Hilber, Rouwendal, Vermeulen, 2014).…”

Housing construction in the Moscow agglomeration is closely linked with the migration of the population to the capital region. The acquisition of real estate by nonresident buyers in the primary market of the Moscow capital region (MСR) in the amount of 2.5 mln m2 provides housing for about 100 000 migrants per year, or about 40 % of the net migration inflow. Buyers from other regions account for 17 % of transactions in Moscow and 23 % in Moscow Oblast. The activity of buyers in the real estate market of the MCR has a spatial differentiation by the Russian regions, which is determined by the factors of natural resource rents, agglomeration effect, the status rents in the large cities, the distance from the MCR. Regional identity of buyers was determined by the addresses of their initial registration. Factor of natural resource rents is evident in the high share (6.4 %) of housing buyers in Moscow from Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs that is almost four times higher than their share in the population. The factor of distance leads to exceeding 2.1 times the share of housing buyers in Moscow from the neighboring regions of the first order over their shares in the population. The greatest activity in the housing market of Moscow is characteristic for residents of cities with the 250 000-500 000 population, of Moscow Oblast - with the 100 000-250 000 population. The share of buyers from the million-plus cities (17.7 %) is slightly greater than their share in the population. Small towns and rural areas have weak buying activity in the housing market. Thus, the development of alternative to Moscow centers of attraction at the national level is associated with a change in migration incentives for residents of cities with 100 000-500 000 population.
