关于“房价高”和“房价调控”的几点理论思考

Theoretical Reflections on High Housing Price and Price Regulation

自2005年起,"房价高"的问题就一直受到各方关注,政府出台了各种调控房价的政策措施。从经济学的角度讲,房价高还是低并不是一个科学的经济学问题,因为高或者低的标准不确定;虽然整个社会都在讨论"房价高"的问题,但这很可能是媒体宣传下对人们认知的一种曲解;房价可以作为城市进入的门槛;房价下跌对政府、银行、广大居民而言未必是好事,因而政府调控房价的政策未必是可行的、必要的。

High housing price has aroused wide concern since 2005,and the government has taken policy measures to regulate it.Economically whether the housing price is high or not is not an economic issue because there is no definite standard for the price.Although all the people are talking about the high housing price,it can be a misinterpretation of people＇s understanding of the housing price under the media propaganda.Housing price can be used as a threshold to enter a city;a decline in the price is not necessarily good for the government,banks and residents.Therefore to regulate the housing price is not necessarily feasible or essential.
