The rapid pace of urbanization and income growth in China in the past decade, spurred in part by the liberalization of the urban housing and labor markets, resulted in considerable growth in urban land rents and wage rates. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of urban quality...

Over the last thirty years, China's major cities have experienced significant income and population growth. Much of this growth has been fueled by urban production spurred by world demand. Using a unique cross-city panel data set, we test several hypotheses concerning the relationship between...

The population growth of a city is constrained by its housing supply. The growth occurs if the housing supply is elastic in response to urban demand shocks, if the supply shifts out, or if per-capita housing demand decreases. We use this framework to examine the growth of 85 Chinese cities...

In Henan province of China, the power demand is vigorous, and the existing provincial generators are mostly high-carbon. Henan faces greater challenges in electricity revolution than other provinces. Currently, there are two development modes for generating low-carbon electricity in Henan: the...

Distributed wind and photovoltaic (PV) power generation are boosting in China. The wide integration of these generators into the distribution network leads to the risk of branch overload and bus voltage violation. To cope with the above risk, some peak output of wind turbines and PV equipment...

China's extremely high levels of urban air, water and greenhouse gas emissions levels pose local and global environmental challenges. China's urban leaders have substantial influence and discretion over the evolution of economic activity that generates such externalities. This paper examines the...

Understanding the within-city house price distribution, heterogeneity and diffusion is essential for understanding the dynamics of city-level housing markets, but these issues have not been thoroughly investigated. In this paper, we construct a constant-quality spatiotemporal house price index...
