Abstract:

This paper studies interactive features of commodity housing prices of China's 3 typical urban agglomerations (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta) from 2 perspectives, i.e., long-term equilibrium relation and volatility spillover of short-term dynamic time-varying. Johansen co-integration test indicates that commodity housing prices of all the cities located in these 3 urban agglomerations show notable co-integration relationship. Empirical study through building DCC-MGARCH model shows that correlation coefficient and variance of the dynamic conditions of the commodity housing yield in the 3 urban agglomerations show notable time-varying characteristics, i.e., volatility spillover effects; the differentiations among commodity housing markets of Beijing, Tianjin and cities in Hebei are the most obvious, followed by Yangtze River Delta, and then Pearl River Delta; the implementation of Property Purchase Restriction Policies had insignificant influence on the volatility spillover effects in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations, while it had some negative influence on that of Pearl River Delta agglomeration. After exchanging three core cities of the 3 urban agglomerations to establish six reference groups, it is discovered that they all kept the long-term equilibrium relation, but the volatility spillover effect decreased significantly; after changing the non-core cites to establish 3 reference groups, it is discovered that the long-term equilibrium relation of the 3 were partially destroyed and the volatility spillover effect decreased significantly.

Key words: urban agglomeration, commodity housing, DCC-MGARCH, volatility spillover
