The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.2K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Social Exchange Theory

34.5K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Econometric Views (EViews)

137
Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

Archival Research

16.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Traditional U.S. housing data underestimates rental costs. Asking rents for new renters are significantly higher than reported by surveys like the American Community Survey, especially in competitive markets.

Area of Science:

  • Housing Economics
  • Urban Studies
  • Real Estate Market Analysis

Background:

  • Conventional U.S. rental housing data, including the American Community Survey (ACS) and American Housing Survey (AHS), primarily capture the transacted market, reflecting existing renters' costs.
  • These datasets are often used as proxies for the spot rental market, which comprises asking rents faced by prospective tenants.
  • A discrepancy may exist between reported rental prices and actual market rates for new housing seekers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare official U.S. rental housing data with actual rental listing data.
  • To assess the accuracy of traditional data sources in reflecting current rental market conditions and asking rents.
  • To identify the extent to which conventional data understates rental costs and affordability challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of millions of contemporaneous rental listings.
  • Comparison of rental listing data against established governmental housing surveys (e.g., ACS, AHS).
  • Statistical evaluation of divergence between transacted market rents and spot market asking rents.

Main Results:

  • Asking rents, representing the spot rental market, diverge substantially from estimates derived from traditional housing data sources.
  • Conventional housing data tend to understate current market conditions.
  • Affordability challenges are more significant than indicated by existing renter cost data, particularly in tight and expensive urban rental markets.

Conclusions:

  • Traditional U.S. rental housing data sources provide an incomplete picture of the rental market.
  • Current housing data understate the true cost of housing for new renters and the severity of affordability issues.
  • Policy and research relying on conventional data may misjudge housing market dynamics and affordability challenges.
