住房保障对居民收入分配的调节作用研究——以北京市为例

Study on the Regulating Effect of Housing Security on Income Distribution——Take Beijing as An Example

利用北京市2004-2017年的年度时间序列数据,用保障房投资完成率和保障房竣工面积作为反映住房保障水平的指标,用欧希玛指数作为反映居民收入差距的指标,通过VAR模型对北京市住房保障水平和收入分配状况之间的关系进行实证分析。结果表明:住房保障水平已经对居民收入分配状况产生了影响;住房保障水平对缩小收入分配差距的作用尚不显著;应该继续提高住房保障覆盖率,进一步完善住房保障制度。

Housing security is an important means for the government to solve the housing problem of middle and low-income groups, and it is also a way to realize income redistribution. China’s housing security system has been in operation for more than ten years. Has this income distribution adjustment effect been achieved? Through the analysis of the evolution of housing security level and income distribution in Beijing, this paper uses VAR model to explore the relationship between the two. The empirical results show that: firstly, the level of housing security has affected the income distribution of residents;secondly, the effect of housing security level on narrowing the income distribution gap is not significant;thirdly, in order to better play the role of income adjustment of housing security, the Chinese government should continue to improve the coverage of housing security and further improve the housing security system.
