摘要

在包含城市外部性的城市系统模型中,均衡城市规模偏离最优城市规模,这表明政府干预的作用。我们使用一个综合了集聚效益和成本的一般均衡框架,并对中国2000年至2020年的数据进行了校准,结果表明,通过限制内部移民来控制城市规模通常会减少福利,因为它们带来的摩擦超过了纠正城市规模偏差的好处。然而,我们也发现,从地方角度来看,中国大多数大城市已经超过了最优规模,如果不控制城市规模,城市居民的平均福利将会下降。这表明,对于一个快速城市化的国家来说,需要采取一系列政策来提高总体福利和减轻分配后果。

Should governments promote or restrain urbanization?
In a system of cities model that incorporates urban externalities, equilibrium city sizes deviate from optimal city sizes, which suggests a role for government intervention. Using a general equilibrium framework that incorporates agglomeration benefits and costs and that is calibrated to data from China between 2000 and 2020, we show that it is generally welfare-reducing to control city sizes through internal migration restrictions since the frictions they introduce outweigh the benefits of correcting for city size deviations. However, we also find that most large Chinese cities have already surpassed the optimal sizes from their local perspective, so without controlling city sizes, the average welfare of city residents would decrease. This suggests that a combination of policies is needed to both improve aggregate welfare and alleviate the distributional consequences for a rapidly urbanizing country.
