Abstract—House price has always been the focus of people's
attention. At present, previous studies have drawn different
conclusions by analyzing the effects of housing price to
unemployment rate and the stock market through different
methods and theories. Therefore, this paper mainly analyzes
from theoretical perspective based on macroeconomics,
financial market, mass psychology and national conditions by
combining some data basis, try to find the common ground of
these existing conclusions and study the real impact from
housing price on unemployment and stock market in China.
The results show that the effect of housing price to
unemployment rate is positively correlated in the long run and
negatively correlated in the short run; the effects of house
price on stock price tends to be positively correlated in China.
The advice for China's housing market is that the government
needs to both curb excessive price growth and ensure a soft
landing, as well as enact property purchase restrictions and
improve housing mechanisms.
Index Terms—Housing price, unemployment rate, stock
market, wealth effect theory.
