Accompanying the rapid urban expansion and fast population growth is a progressive trend of residential relocation in developing countries, which necessitates thorough understanding households’ decisions.

Moreover, experiments possibility accommodating three possible using latent class modeling framework. The proposed approaches are applied empirical case Beijing. Results show models based on principles have better model fits than principle, suggesting importance considering egalitarianism members’ choice relocation. has best fit, indicating instead merely seeking utilitarianism, more likely strike balance between fairness efficiency.
