Title: House Prices and China's Birth Rate - A Note
Abstract:  This study aims to explore whether house prices have an asymmetrical threshold effect on the birth rate in China. We find that house prices have a significant negative impact on the birth rate when it is higher than the threshold value. This result indicates that excessive house prices have reduced the birth rate. Therefore, for areas above the threshold, their housing market should be regulated to alleviate family burden.
