- Description
- This chapter investigates whether gender differences exist in bargaining behaviour in the housing market. The impact of personality dispositions, location preferences and other such variables on the individuals willingness and ability to bargain and obtain a concession is studied. The variables were estimated using a 5-point Likert scale, and the final dataset was analysed by implementing logistic regression model. Findings suggest that gender, product knowledge, bargaining disposition, role of agent and reference price significantly impact bargaining behaviour. The study validates the need to attain the fifth Sustainable Development Goal, i.e. Gender Equality. The current emphasis is to ensure full participation of women in decision-making capabilities by 2030 (UN Women, Progress on the sustainable development goals: the gender snapshot, UN Women, New York, 2022), but it is found that men bargain more than women in the rental housing market. The chapter contributes to existing literature by studying gender differences in the rental housing market and justifies the findings with the help of primary data analysis. 2024 The Author(s).
