China’s'Urbanization:'What’s'So'Special?

  Then, what’s so special about China?

  Is China really an outlier?

45

Concluding'Remarks

  China is unique o  Normative vs. Positive Standards

  Why? o  Scale matters o  Internal complexities are unprecedented

46

Normative'vs.'Positive'Standards

  To be good doesn’t necessarily mean to be normal

o  Despite the “norm” given by the fitting line (in terms of the relationship between urbanization and economic development), most countries have failed to adhere to the norm.

o  China is among the few developing countries economies where urbanization is relatively healthy.

o  Even among these few countries/economies China is probably the one with the worst beginning conditions, which makes China’s achievements even more valuable.

Scale'MaAers

  Fast speed and fair economy outcomes may not be unique, but these achievements become valuable when considering the huge scale of the country.

  Why scale matters? o  Huge scale may change the basic settings of the stage. o  Partial equilibrium -> general equilibrium

o  Absolute amount usually matters when it comes to public goods, or public “bads”, negative externalities such as air pollution or GHG emission

  Despite similar urbanization level, rural Vermont(right) is different from rural Guizhou(left).

  In the developed countries, the countryside and the city imply different styles of life; however in developing countries, they mean different qualities of life.

  The two differ in terms of infrastructure accessibility, consumption level, educational quality, or even life expectancy.

  Therefor, China’s urbanization (and the developing world’s in general) can be viewed as a process of “voting with feet”.

  Putting another way, the developed world is in a state of urban-rural equilibrium, but the developing world isn’t.

  In China, the mobility is further facilitated by characteristics of regional economy (rather than international economy, as seen in the Europe): perfect factor mobility, same currency, etc.

  Challenges: natural tendency toward over-urbanization (Harris and Todaro. 1970)

  Corrective policy tools: Hukou?
