Reeent published studies claim that gender imbalance increases competition among men in the marriage market, which has pushed Chinese, especially parents with a son, to buy houses as a signal of relative status in the marriage market,＂ this marriage competition then causes high demand for houses and eventually leads to rising house prices in China. Empirical results in this paper, however, provide little support for this hypothesis and we find that a rise in the sex ratios for most age cohorts accounts for very small percentage variations in house price movements in China during 1998-2009. Further investigation suggests that excess demand driven by high monetary growth was a significant cause of the rising house prices in China during 1998-2009. Therefore, the impact of gender imbalance on house prices shouM not be exaggerated and monetary dynamics remains an important leading indicator for house price movements in China.展开更多
