Perceived reasons for paying more for housing in metro Atlanta: Results from the 2018 Metro Atlanta Speaks survey

Abstract

Various factors may influence housing prices paid by residents, and these factors can be grouped into the demand-or supply-side factors. However, the empirical literature has not adequately investigated whether or not residents perceive that they pay more for housing, and if so, whether paying more is associated with the demand-side factors such as housing attributes or neighborhood/locational amenities, or supply-side factors such as a lack of affordable housing alternatives. Using the 2018 Metro Atlanta Speaks survey, we find that millennials, Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, residents with children, and relatively higher-income residents perceived that they are paying more because of the demand-side factors such as housing attributes or neighborhood/locational amenities. Conversely, working-age residents, females, high school graduates or less, and renters perceived that they are paying more due to the supply-side factors such as a lack of affordable housing alternatives. In a situation where residents are to choose one factor associated with housing, millennials and Blacks or African Americans prefer the quality of housing, relatively higherincome residents prefer local schools, new residents to the area prefer neighborhoods, and Hispanics or Latinos and employed residents prefer location over any other factors.

Migration, daily commuting, or second residence? The role of location-specific capital and distance to workplace in regional mobility decisions

“…However, previous studies have not confirmed an effect of homeownership on the likelihood of commuting (van Ham and Hooimeijer 2009;Pfaff 2012). One reason for this could be that homeowners are often more involved in locally oriented networks than renters (Blum and Kingston 1984;Ghimire and Skinner 2022). If these networks are used to search for a job, the probability of finding a job in another region is reduced (Abraham and Nisic 2007).…”

A Study of Player Behavior And Social Influences to Purchase Intention Mobile Legends: Bang Bang In-Game Item

“…The definition of community involvement is interpreted broadly because there are formal and informal (Ghimire & Skinner, 2019). Community members play an important role in social life, which is the driving force of various communities (Ghimire & Skinner, 2019).…”

Cooperation in changing groups

“…Allowing newcomers the time to integrate and putting them in a position to contribute effectively helps in this regard. For example, new residents may be more likely to volunteer at neighborhood events once they are settled and have become part of the community (Ghimire & Skinner, 2019), and immigrants may be more likely to contribute to charitable organizations once they have secured a job and are integrated in the host country (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2007;Hainmueller et al, 2016). Only by incorporating newcomers, can cooperation for public good provision be sustainable in the long-term.…”

“…Our finding that newcomers' contributions are initially lower than those of incumbents but do increase over time resonates with field studies on newcomer contributions. Studies suggest that residents are more likely to volunteer at community events if they are longer part of the community (Ghimire & Skinner, 2019), that workers' output in organizations is higher with higher tenure (Shaw & Lazear, 2008), and that immigrants contribute more to charitable organizations with more time spent in the country (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2007). Typically, these studies only observe individuals at one point in time, so changes over time within individuals as they switch roles are not accounted for.…”

“…Nieuwkomers de tijd geven om te integreren en ze in een positie plaatsen waarin ze effectief kunnen bijdragen, helpt in dit opzicht ook. Nieuwe buurtbewoners zijn bijvoorbeeld eerder geneigd om vrijwilligerswerk te doen bij buurtevenementen als ze gesetteld zijn en deel zijn gaan uitmaken van de gemeenschap (Ghimire & Skinner, 2019) en immigranten zijn eerder geneigd om bij te dragen aan goede doelen als ze een baan hebben en geïntegreerd zijn in het gastland (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2007;Hainmueller et al, 2016). Alleen door nieuwkomers op te nemen in de groep kan coöperatie voor publieke goederen op de lange termijn duurzaam zijn.…”
