Financial socialization and financial well‐being in early adulthood
Exploring the role of help‐seeking behavior, family financial socialization, and capability on financial well‐being
An Integrated Framework of Young Adults’ Subjective Well-Being
Housing Instability, Food Insecurity, and Barriers to Healthy Eating
This study uses the National Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS) to examine how housing instability is associated with food insecurity, the overall healthfulness of diet, and perceived barriers to healthy eating. The sample consisted of households with incomes not exceeding 185% of the federal poverty line. Logistic regressions showed that, after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics and local food environment, housing insta…
Do Households Use Food Budget Stretching to Alleviate Food Insecurity
This study assesses whether households buy foods of low nutritional value and use coupons and store savings as effective budget‐stretching measures to alleviate food insecurity. Interview and food‐acquisition data for a sample of 4,235 households from the National Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey and mediation regression models were used. The study found little evidence of compromised nutritional quality as a budget‐stretching practice. Stret…

Asset ownership of recent immigrants
This study uses a nationally representative sample of newly legalized immigrants to the United States to investigate factors related to their financial and non-financial asset ownership. Our analysis examines the ownership of financial assets, homes, and businesses in association with human capital, acculturation, and other demographic variables. The results indicate that household income and English fluency are significant predictors of financia…
In Search of Value
The identity of residential areas has a strong influence on consumers searching for new housing. Yet, most studies have not dealt adequately with the implications of neighborhood name and characteristics as a marketing tool. This paper investigates how subdivision names selected by residential developers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, affected property values and time on the market. We used a 20-year data series on house transactions to estimate thes…
Historic Preservation and Residential Property Values
Historic designation is increasingly used as a means to achieve both preservation and community economic development. This study considered the effects of historic designation on residential property values in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. The results support the well-established notion in urban economics literature that historic preservation has a positive impact on property values. However, appreciation of property values may displace less-afflu…
The Motivation for Intergenerational Time and Financial Transfers
This study investigated the motivation for intergenerational financial and time transfers between parents and adult children using data from the Health and Retirement Study. The results showed that emotional closeness between parents and adult children was significantly associated with both adult children to parent and parent to adult children transfers. In addition, parents and adult children who met frequently were more likely to help each othe…
Employer-Provided Health Insurance Coverage
This research examined differences in employer-based health insurance coverage among employed native-born Americans and immigrants using cross-sectional and panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey, cohort 1979 (NLSY79). Compared with native-born Americans, immigrants were 10.5% less likely to have employer-based health insurance when controlling for other social and economic characteristics. Income and educational attainment of immigrant…
Food Insecurity and Out‐of‐Pocket Medical Expenditures
Resource‐constrained families face difficult choices when attempting to meet their basic needs and enhance their health and wellness. This research investigated the relationship between a family’s efforts to access enough food and pay their medical bills through an examination of data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation. The data provided information on out‐of‐pocket medical expenditures and responses to an abbreviated version of …
