Do regional house prices converge or diverge in China?

扫码查看
This paper aims to test whether the regional house prices are convergent or divergent in China using a monthly panel data set of China''s 70 large and medium-sized cities from July 2005 to December 2010. This issue is closely related to understanding the efficiency of the country-level housing policies made by China''s central government. The test results suggest that the regional house prices in China are generally divergent, and thereby the country-level policies may be inefficient since they do not explicitly take the strong heterogeneity of China''s regional housing markets into consideration. As a consequence, it may be better for China''s central government to further decentralize and devolve its governance toward the housing market to the local governments.
