This paper develops a structural new economic geography model to examine the impacts of these policies. Fitting the model to available data allows simulating counterfactual scenarios comparing each policy’s respective impact on regional economic development and urbanization patterns across China. The results suggest large overall economic benefits from constructing the national expressway network and abolishing the Hukou system. Yet, the spatial impacts of the two policies are very different. The construction of the national expressway network reinforced existing urbanization patterns. The initially lagging regions not connected to the network have not benefitted much from its construction. By contrast, removal of the Hukou restrictions, which Chinese policy makers are considering, would result in much more widespread welfare gains, allowing everyone to gain by moving to where he or she is most productive. Removal of the Hukou restrictions would also promote urbanization in currently lagging (inland) regions, mostly by stimulating rural to urban migration.<br /> <br /> Document type: Preprint<br /> <br /> == Full document ==<br /> &lt;pdf&gt;Media:Draft_Content_232417326-beopen508-6955-document.pdf&lt;/pdf&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> == Original document ==<br /> <br /> The different versions of the original document can be found in:<br /> <br /> * [http://dx.doi.org/10.1596/1813-9450-7350 http://dx.doi.org/10.1596/1813-9450-7350]<br /> <br /> * [http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22231 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22231] under the license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/<br /> <br /> * [http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/WDSContentServer/WDSP/IB/2015/06/30/090224b082fac2ba/1_0/Rendered/PDF/Hukou0and0high00regional0inequality.pdf http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/WDSContentServer/WDSP/IB/2015/06/30/090224b082fac2ba/1_0/Rendered/PDF/Hukou0and0high00regional0inequality.pdf]<br /> <br /> * [https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/10986/22231/1/Hukou0and0high00regional0inequality.pdf https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/10986/22231/1/Hukou0and0high00regional0inequality.pdf] under the license cc-by<br /> <br /> * [https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/22231 https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/22231],<br /> : [https://academic.microsoft.com/#/detail/2805176611 https://academic.microsoft.com/#/detail/2805176611]</div>
