Abstract
This paper examines the empirical relationship between housing prices and marriage measured by level and percentage numbers of people getting married in the given year in China. Using OLS, TSLS and FD models, this paper discovers that OLS yields significant yet inconsistent results, while the results from TSLS models support the hypothesis proposed in this paper that an increase in housing prices in general deters people from getting married. Specifically, a 1% increase in housing prices causes about 3,168.23 fewer people getting married, and approximately 0.011 decrease of the percentage number change in the portion of newly married people to total population. This paper concludes by explaining the difficulties in analyzing the relationship between housing prices and marriage in China, and recognizes several directions needed for future improvement.
