This study investigates the effects of migration across Chinese provinces and the regional disparity by assuming migration in a multi-regional growth model.
The simulation results show that the population in developed regions such as Shanghai and Guangdong is increasing by provincial migration whereas the population in the underdeveloped regions such as Guizhou is decreasing. Moreover, economic growth accelerates as the factor distribution among regions becomes more efficient. Furthermore, although migration reduces expansion of the regional disparity, this effect is limited.
