Bordalo, Pedro - 2019

Simonsohn and Loewenstein (SL 2006) present evidence that a household moving from one US city to another tends to pay a rent level that is closer to the city of origin, relative to comparable locals. Building on "Memory, Attention, and Choice" (BGS 2019), we show that these effects emerge from...

Does Home Owning Smooth the Variability of Future Housing Consumption?

Paciorek, Andrew - 2010

We show that the hedging benefit of owning a home reduces the variability of housing consumption after a move. When a current home owner's house price covaries positively with housing costs in a future city, changes in the future cost of housing are offset by commensurate changes in wealth...

Housing Busts and Household Mobility

Ferreira, Fernando - 2008

Using two decades of American Housing Survey data from 1985-2005, we estimate the impact on household mobility of owners having negative equity in their homes and of rising mortgage interest rates. We find that both lead to lower, not higher, mobility rates over time. The impacts are...
