Keeping Up with the Zhangs and House Price Dynamics in China

主讲人

简介

<p>Following the transition from a centralized housing allocation to a housing market, houses have become a status good for Chinese households. Exploiting this observation, we use a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model to study quantitatively the effect of housing consumption externalities (&ldquo;keeping up with the Zhangs&rdquo;) on house price dynamics. Our Bayesian estimation reveals that housing consumption externalities have a significant role in house price dynamics, amplifying the response of house prices to shocks. Time-invariant transaction taxes that designed to offset the effects of keeping up with the Zhangs can significantly reduce the impacts of housing demand shocks on housing prices.</p>
