First-time homebuying: Attitudes and behaviors of low-income renters through the financial crisis
We use psychological theory to investigate how attitudes toward homebuying relate to first-time home purchases over the past decade. Homeownership rates in the US have dropped to 20-year lows, but whether views toward homebuying shifted due to the financial crisis is not known because studies have not compared attitudes for the same respondents pre- and post-crisis. We address this gap with 2004–2014 panel data from low-income renters. We find th…
Financial Record Checking in Surveys: Do Prompts Improve Data Quality
Self-reports of financial information in surveys, such as wealth, income, and assets, are particularly prone to inaccuracy. We sought to improve the quality of financial information captured in a survey conducted by phone and in person by encouraging respondents to check records when reporting on income and assets. We investigated whether suggestive prompts influenced unit response, compliance with the request to check records, precision of estim…
Loan Modifications and Foreclosure Sales during the Financial Crisis: Consequences for Health and Stress
Loan modifications and foreclosure sales are two ways mortgage servicers can respond when homeowners fall behind on house payments. We investigate the consequences of these events for health and stress by linking longitudinal survey data with administrative mortgage performance data that identify those survey participants who experienced a foreclosure sale, a loan modification, or neither. We find that between 2008 and 2013, loan modifications an…
Sense of Community and Informal Social Control Among Lower Income Households: The Role of Homeownership and Collective Efficacy in Reducing Subjective Neighborhood Crime and Disorder
We examine the link between homeownership, collective efficacy, and subjective neighborhood crime and disorder. Although prior research suggests that homeownership provides social benefits, the housing downturn and foreclosure crisis, coupled with mounting evidence that people self‐select into housing, raise questions about the role of homeownership. We adjust for respondents’ decision to own or rent using a nationwide sample of lower‐income hous…
Homeownership and Civic Engagement in Low-Income Urban Neighborhoods: A Longitudinal Analysis
This paper tests whether there is a causal relationship between homeownership and two forms of civic engagement. We explore three theoretical linkages between homeownership and civic engagement: financial self-interest, the dwelling as a bundle of interests, and residential mobility. Using a sample of lower-income homeowners and a matched sample of renters, we analyze data on neighborhood group membership, social activity, homeownership status, a…
The Effects of Differential Interviewer Incentives on a Field Data Collection Effort
Surveys routinely offer incentives to motivate respondents and increase the likelihood of their participation, yet surprisingly little is known about the effectiveness of interviewer incentives. If interviewer incentives increase interviewers' success in gaining cooperation, they could help address declining survey response rates. In this article, we present the results of an experiment testing the effectiveness of interviewer incentives in the f…
Friends and Neighbors: Homeownership and Social Capital among Low- to Moderate-Income Families
This research explores whether homeownership leads to increased individual social capital among low- to moderate-income families. Social capital refers to social resources a person can access through contacts with others in his or her social networks. We theorize that homeownership can motivate interactions with others in one’s neighborhood and therefore build social capital. Using a sample of low- and moderate-income homeowners and a matched sam…
