Evidence Research of China Differential Regional Price Effects of Monetary Policy
Because of the regional differences of economic development, industrial structure, financial structure, the degree of openness, market-oriented extent, etc in China, monetary policy is likely to have significant asymmetric effects across different regions. In this paper, we use time-series techniques to examine whether monetary policy had symmetric effects across China four regions during the 1986 and 2007 period. The results show that the price responses of the eastern region and the northeastern region are smaller than the ones of middle region and western region. The differences of economic development can explain the region variations. Because eastern region and the northeastern region are more developed than middle region and western region, the price of eastern region and the northeastern region is more flexible than the one of middle region and western region. Variance decomposition shows that monetary factor is not the main reason of region price variation.
