讲座题目：Rural-Urban Migration and the Effects of Government Spending in Developing Countries

讲座摘要：We examine whether government spending could enhance its expansionary effect by encouraging rural-urban migration in developing countries. We answer this question using Chinese data because there are a huge rural population and large urban-rural gaps in productivity and wage due to migration costs in China. The empirical evidence shows that there is a delayed rural-urban migration of labor in response to an increase in government spending. We then derive a two-region dynamic general equilibrium model where government spending shocks influence output within and across regions. We find that the effects of government spending are substantially amplified by the rural-urban migration channel.
