This paper investigates the effect of high house prices on marriage rate in China over the period 2011-2019.The conclusion of the empirical analysis argues that , generally, the average effect of high house prices on marriage rate is small; however, high house prices can significantly reduce marriage rates in economically developed regions. The study of this paper can provide better insight for improving the marriage rate.
