Abstract

Using quarterly house price index of the 35 Chinese large and medium-sized cities during the period 2000Q2–2012Q3, applying Block-exogeneity test on the estimates from a multi-variable VAR model, we found that the transmission of house price fluctuations between cities is multi-directional and do not depend on geographical contiguity. And the wider spillover effects come from cities with higher land scarcity.
