ABSTRACT
This paper introduces a special issue of Housing, Theory and Society entitled “Behavioural biases in the housing market”. First, we provide a brief overview of theoretical considerations and empirical research applying the behavioural economics approach to housing market studies. Second, we summarize the topics of the papers included in the special issue and, finally, point out directions for future analyses involving behavioural economics and the housing market.
