Urban Vacant Housing Transferring, Housing Filtering, and Households Moving

Empirical data were collected via home interview inquiring information of housing moving. We discussed the moving of vacancy chains between location regions, and discussed the vacancy transferring by housing types and by different levels of housing quality.

The effects of the policies of housing subsidy provided by government were also evaluated. We concluded that the length of the vacancy chains of the first time homeowners were longer than the experienced homeowners. We also find the empirical evidence that households were benefited from housing transferring.
