Learning in Chinese Cities: Do Rural Migrants Benefit from Labor Market Agglo...STLLab
Cities facilitate learning and human capital accumulation. In a dense, local labor market, workers can benefit from knowledge spillovers and therefore enhance their productivity. This is supported by many empirical studies from developed countries. Less is known in cities in developing countries. Using micro data from the 2004 manufacturing census and 2005 population census in China, we find that overall workers benefit from labor market pooling and knowledge spillovers in Chinese cities but rural migrants benefit much less than do local urban residents. This is not because rural migrants are low skilled or work in informal sectors. This may be because they lack social network and suffer “double discrimination” for being “rural” and being “migrant.” Our findings suggest that social interactions in cities provide a channel of learning alternative to formal schooling. Our findings also have policy implications on how Chinese cities can become “skilled” during the rapid urbanization process coupled with global competition.
Justifying Chinese Local Government's Land Finance RegimeSTLLab
Land finance has been the engine of the booming Chinese economy for the last twenty years and also the root of the decline of economic growth. The nature of land finance is not revenue for local government. The nature of land finance is debts, and now the engine has stalled. Both increasing cost of land requisition and decreasing demand of property has lead land finance to its end. Since land finance is located in the core of Chinese economic growth, unless a replacement of it is identified, the Chinese economy will lose the dynamic growth of the last two decades. The problem is that we have not fully understood the economic functions of the land finance. However, dual economy theory may help us understand more and find a way out.
