Extrapolative households and strategic firms: Evidence from China’s land and housing market
This paper examines households’ extrapolative behaviors and developers’ strategic responses in China’s land and housing markets. Our stylized model predicts that when households extrapolate in the housing market, developers with nearby land holdings strategically bid higher, anticipating rising housing prices to boost the value of their existing stock. Using the exogenous timing of land auctions, we show that higher land premiums increase transac…
Attracting Top Talent: Analyzing Local Policies in China With Economists' CV Data
Top high‐skilled professionals, such as academics, teachers, doctors, and engineers, play a critical role in driving localized innovation and economic growth. Although extensive research exists on international talent mobility, there is limited evidence on their intranational movement. This study closely analyses a large‐scale talent‐attraction policy implemented in Chinese cities to relocate top high‐skilled workers. Using a unique, hand‐collect…
The unintended consequences of special economic zones on crime
Can pro-growth place-based policies cause social instability? This paper uses a unique hand-collected dataset on legal cases and special economic zones (SEZs) in China to examine the impact of pro-growth place-based policies on local crime in a developing country context. Exploiting the establishment of SEZs as a quasi-natural experiment, we document that SEZs increase the local crime rate by 27.9 per cent. We further show that SEZs significantly…

From poverty to prosperity: Assessing of sustainable poverty reduction effect of “welfare-to-work” in Chinese counties
The “welfare-to-work” program is a comprehensive supportive policy in the 14th five-year plan period in China. In this paper, a systematical assessment of the long-run effectiveness of the welfare-to-work policy on poverty reduction is of great significance to stimulate the internal impetus of people who are lifted out of poverty to achieve income growth and prosperity and promote regional economic development. Based on the data at the county (ci…

Improving health and reducing health inequality: An innovation of digitalization
Pollution effects of place‐based policy: Evidence from China's development‐zone program
Environmental externalities of place‐based policy have generally been overlooked despite their welfare consequences. This paper studies the air‐pollution effect of development zones in urban China using a geo‐coded data set of 2720 counties from 1998 to 2016. By adopting the generalized difference‐in‐difference framework to resolve the problem of endogenous locational selection for place‐based policies, we find that development zones reduce ambie…
How housing rent affect migrants’ consumption and social integration? ——Evidence from China Migrants Dynamic Survey
In this paper, we examine the impact of housing rent increase on migrants' household consumption and social integration. Using the China Migrants Dynamic Survey 2011–2014, we find that rent increase significantly reduces migrants’ non-housing consumption and leads to deteriorating social integration. Heterogeneous analyses find that rent increase has a larger impact on male migrants, older people with high school degrees or above, and those who w…

The Consumption-Driven Effect of Place-based Industrial Policy: An Empirical Study Based on Development Zone Policy
Can the development zone policy that pioneered Chinese industrialization energize the consumption of urban residents and become an important means of achieving the coordinated development of industrialization and urbanization? We used the policy impact of upgrading provincial development zones to conduct empirical research on the consumption- driven effect of development zone policy with the Difference in Difference (DID) model. Our findings show…
