This paper explores the effects of housing prices on income inequality in urban China. The authors use China's interprovincial panel data for the period between 1999 and 2011 and find that there is a significant positive association between housing prices and the Gini coefficient of the income of urban residents, and that there are remarkable regional disparities.
