The Determinants of Housing Inequality in Urban Households: Hukou, Endowment or Urban Characteristic?—Based on Generalized Ordered Model and Oaxaca-Blinder Decomposition

Abstract

Abstract: Using the data from China Labor-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS), and based on generalized ordered Logit model, this paper analyzes the influence of Hukou, endowment and urban characteristic on housing inequality empirically. Based on Shapley value decomposition and Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, we distinguish the share between effort and circumstance causes, and the share between discrimination due to Hukou and endowment. We draw several conclusions. First, Hukou can explain 54.2% share of housing inequality. Second, effort cause acts positive effect on housing level. Third, discrimination effect of Hukou dominates in housing grade inequality, while endowment effect dominates in housing space inequality. The low housing level of migrants is due to inferior circumstance cause, while that of residents with agricultural Hukou is due to inferior effort and circumstance causes. Fourth, because of the domination of living cost effect, housing grade declines as city size and migrant proportion expanse. More urban land supply can enhance housing level.

Key words: housing inequality, Hukou, endowment, urban characteristic, generalized ordered Logit model, Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition
