内容提要：
In this paper, we develop and empirically test a spatial equilibrium model that incorporates the special institutional features of China’s land market, aiming to better understand the stylized facts of China’s rapid urbanization during the period between 2000 and 2010. We find that government intervention in the land market enlarges the impact of positive productivity shock on housing price appreciation. However, we find no significant evidence that high government intervention constrains population growth and leads to wage increase, in responding to positive productivity shocks. Such special patterns of urban dynamics might come from the fact that migrant workers in China account for a large proportion of urban residential population, but they are not well compensated and have limited demand for housing.
