三、主要内容：In this paper, we exploit the close interactions between the land and housing market in China and study the decisions of real-estate developers in the land market auctions and its implications. We first establish that the land auction outcomes exhibit significant spillover effects on housing markets by exploring the exact timing of the auction. We find that a land auction price growing twice as fast as the local housing price trend leads to an 8.3 percent increase in local housing price. The spillover effect shows strong momentum, lasting four months after the auction, after which the local housing price began adjusting downwards. Using a matched dataset of developers’ stock of land and land auction outcomes, we show that developers adjust their auction strategy in the land market in response to the spillover effects. Developers with land stock nearby the land auctioned bid 3.8 percent higher. This response to the spillover effects is more pronounced in cities where housing prices are not regulated.
