Evaluating the Socioeconomic Determinants of REIT Adoption in Mumbai: Behavioral Barriers and Drivers in Investment Decision-Making

 

 

 

Author:- Vriti Gothi

Abstract: The study examines how socioeconomic factors along with behavioral tendencies considerably shape investors' willingness to adopt property investment trusts. Real estate investment trusts are an affordable way for investors to enter the real estate market. They can do so without directly owning the properties. Nonetheless, their employment remains restricted, specifically on individual traders. This research looks at the main factors of age, gender, education, job, and also income, with investment history using survey data and binary logistic regression analysis in JAMOVI. These findings indicate that none of the variables have a big effect on REIT investment choices, with investment experience displaying a small amount of importance (p = 0.056). Therefore, the null hypothesis cannot be definitively disproved in any capacity, and it can be firmly concluded that conventional socioeconomic factors may not be the single fundamental forces behind the adoption of REITs. The research points to the importance of a closer examination of psychological and financial literacy-related determinants, which might have an even greater impact in determining REIT investments.
