2 Outline 1. Introduction 2. Analysis of Hukou Restriction Removal Using A Basic Model 3. Extending the Model to Capture House Price Effects on Migration Across Regions 4. A Model with a Distribution of Productivities within Regions 5. Conclusions and Remarks (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 2/41
3 1. Introduction 1. System of Hukou in China / Registered Permanent Residence 1.1 Hukou operates as a barrier to Urban / Rural Immigration. Labour Migration Restrictions / Labour flow Barriers 1.2 Hukou supports large regional wage differentials which labour markets do not compete away. Urban Wage Rate is greater than Rural Wage Rate Urban Income is greater than Rural Income (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 3/41
4 1. Introduction 1.3 Hukou system exists between urban and rural areas, and even within urban areas and within rural areas. 1.4 There are only three countries existing Hukou system / Labour Mobility Restrictions in the world. China, North Korea, and Vietnam 1.5 In China, Hukou has begun since early 1950s 1.6 Hukou Benefits on Education, Health, Housing, Insurance (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 4/41
5 1. Introduction 2. The Statistical Literature on GDP and Inequality in China 2.1 GDP growth rate has been over 8 % since Gini coefficient is increasing and over 0.4 from 1994 to 2005 (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 5/41

7 1. Introduction 3. Motivation: Hukou System of Permanent Registration grows relative inequality over the last 20 years. 4. Model Hamilton and Whalley (1984) 4.1 The Global Consequences of Immigration Restrictions 4.2 There is homogeneous labour 4.3 Differences in both wage rate and GDP per capita across countries are supported by immigration restrictions. U.S.A. Canada New Zealand Australia (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 7/41
8 1. Introduction 5. Intuition: A significant role for Hukou restrictions supports inequality in China. 5.1 We use economic models to decompose inequality change. 5.2 All wage and most income inequality disappear when labour migration restrictions are removed. 5.3 Gini coefficient (income inequality) reduces with removal of migration barriers / Hukou system. (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 8/41
9 1. Introduction 6. A further model extension urban house price rises retard rural-urban migration. 6.1 A two good general equilibrium model Two Goods: Consumption Good and Housing 6.2 To introduce region specific house price effects 6.3 To capture their dampening impacts on migration 6.4 Location specific housing stocks support differing urban and rural house prices. 6.5 Equilibrium migration condition equalize the real value of wage rates. (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 9/41
10 2. Inequality Decompositions Using A Basic Model There are 31 provinces, centrally administered municipalities and autonomous regions in the Chinese mainland. They are [Northern China] Beijing, Tianjin, hebei, Shanxi, inner Mongolia; [Northeastern China] Liaoning, Jilin, heilongjiang; [Eastern China] Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shandong; [Central and Southern China] Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan; [Southwestern China] Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet; [Northwestern China] Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang.

33 3. Extending to Capture House Price Effects on Migration Across Regions Labour flows under Hukou removal are smaller and significant further redistribution occurs between urban dwellers whose house prices rise and rural dwellers whose prices fall. Efficiency gains from Hukou removal tend to be smaller with house price effects since the number of migrants will be smaller. This model shows that urban house price rises retard rural-urban migration. (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 33/41

39 5. Conclusions and Remarks This paper uses two model variants to study the impacts of the Hukou system of permanent registration on income inequality and labour income migration in China. (1) The base model is taken from Hamilton and Whalley (1984). We evaluate the impacts of cross region labour migration restrictions on national inequality. (2) A second house model captures the effects of higher urban house prices in retarding rural labour movement in to urban areas. (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 39/41
40 5. Conclusions and Remarks All model results point towards a significant role of the Hukou system in preventing movement towards a more equal distribution of income in China. The effects are smaller in the latter two model variants than in the first. We see all models as a simplification from a more complex reality, and so we do not aim to provide from point estimate of impact. We offer new methodological approaches which can be used for the analysis of other economies with mobility restrictions. (HUKOU) Labour Mobility 2006 p. 40/41
