摘要
本文利用"大众点评网"2015年餐饮类商铺的信息,结合全国城市层面的人口与土地等数据,实证检验了城市规模和人口结构多样性对于一个城市的不可贸易品多样性的影响。本文发现,人口数量增加1%,菜品种类会增加0.528%—0.623%;而人口结构,即"流动人口"比重上升一个百分点,菜品种类会增加2.19%—2.49%。也就是说,"流动人口"不仅为城市带来了家乡的特色菜品,还促使城市创造了新的菜品。本文支持了有关城市规模和人口结构多样性对城市不可贸易品多样性的促进作用。在此基础上,本文用菜品多样性作为消费者福利的代理指标,在中国城市规模服从不同参数的对数正态分布的条件下,通过数值模拟估算出整体的福利变化情况,以及每一个城市的福利变化,结果显示限制大城市人口规模的政策意味着巨大的整体福利损失,尤其是对大城市的损害更大,但是对中小城市具有保护作用。
        As one of the most representative traits of Chinese culture, Chinese cuisines are world famous and a reflection of soft power. However, the literature on the Chinese cuisine industry is significantly insufficient, and few papers have considered variety welfare across the whole country.We attempt to determine the distribution rule of non-tradable goods in China. Modern economics, especially new trade theory, pays more attention to the distribution rule, as preference for variety is a basic assumption of modern economic theory(Armington, 1969). Studies from Krugman until now have gradually determined that the scale economy, which comes from the agglomeration effect of supply, can increase the number of varieties in production and promote variety welfare(Krugman, 1979, 1980, 199 la; Broda & Weinstein, 2006). In contrast, the rule of consumption and non-tradable goods remain misunderstood.According to the urban economy, all location-based services or goods that are differentiated and patronized by consumers with a specific set of preferences can be regarded as non-tradable goods. Due to the two main characteristics of non-tradable good, including transport cost heterogeneity and low substitution, more scholars have recognized that varieties of non-tradable goods can better proxy for a city's non-tradable goods welfare than other indexes. In addition, scholars have determined that non-tradable goods are among the major sources of a city's amenities(Glaeser et al., 2001) and one of the most important factors attracting people to live in a city(Chen & Rosenthal, 2008; Lee, 2010). Therefore, it is important to study the distribution rule of non-tradable goods for urban development.China's huge population and unique population mobility pattern also motivate our research. The 12 th and 13 th Five-Year Plans insist that big cities should limit population inflow, which has made China's population uniquely fluid. Recent empirical work has shown that industrial composition varies systematically with population size(Mori et al., 2008; Mori & Smith, 2011; Hsu, 2012; Schiff, 2015). However, there is an extreme spatial mismatch between the economy and population that weakens the urban population agglomeration effect and scale economy effect(Lu, 2013). Thus, we research the potential loss of non-tradable goods variety welfare against the background of limiting population mobility policy.We acquire the cuisines data from Meituan-Dianping(dianping.com)There are two classification standards for cuisines, including categories and dishes, which can proxy for the varieties of a local city. Compared with other studies, ours makes three main contributions. First, we first use big data to proxy for the varieties of non-tradable goods in a Chinese city; second, we discuss the relationships between China's population size, population structure, and varieties of non-tradable goods; third, we estimate the loss of non-tradable goods variety welfare in a Chinese city under the population mobility restriction policy. We combine the cuisines data from dianping.com in 2015 and consider the sixth census and land data at the city level to empirically test the causal relationship between population size and structure and the variety welfare of non-tradable goods. We find that the elasticity of variety in terms of population is between 0.528 and 0.696, while that in terms of fluid population is between 2.19 and 3.56. That is, the "fluid population" not only serves as a special category for the city, but also encourages the city to create new categories.This paper supports the positive promoting effect of population scale and structure diversity on the variety welfare of non-tradable goods. Based on our estimation of the instrumental variables, we use varieties of non-tradable goods as welfare indicators through numerical simulations to estimate the potential losses of Chinese cities under different parameters of logarithmic normal distribution. The results show that the current limits on population mobility result in a huge variety welfare loss especially for big cities, but have a protective effect on small and medium-sized cities.

    (5)根据“大众点评网”数据研究院发布的《2016中国外卖O2O行业洞察报告》,截至2016年,“大众点评网”总体外卖业务月活跃用户数超过8018万人。这一数据虽然不能等同于其所有用户数,但可以从一个侧面反映其用数规模已经很大。另外,“大众点评网”与美团于2015年10月8日宣布合并,成为业内最大的一家公司,其用户规模也使得其数据有很强的代表性。
    (6)由于我们关注的是整体情况,必须采用整体的人口数据,而符合需求的常驻人口数据只能从2010年的人口普查数据中找到,2015年的1%人口抽样数据的详细信息还不可得,虽然2010年人口普查数据与“大众点评网”数据在时间上不能完全匹配,但已经是最好的可行选择了。另一个可能的好处是,由于时间上的间隔较长,可以不用担心反向因果关系。

    (13)这里直接使用菜品种类来测量多样性福利,等于假定不同种类的菜品之间的替代性弹性为零,这显然不符合事实。但是在缺乏餐馆的成本和菜品价格信息的情况下,无法准确估计菜品之间的替代弹性,这样的假定是一个不得已的选择,同时也可以将种类所代表的多样性福利看作是真实福利的一个上限。
    (14)关于城市人口集聚的成本与收益分析所产生的均衡结果的研究中,通常会将城市提供的舒适性作为一个重要因素。如果将菜品多样性福利看作是舒适性,显然会反过来影响城市人口分布,在前面实证部分估计出来的系数就可能不适用了。但是,我们认为,在城市居民中,食品开支在总体开支中比重不高,外出用餐的比重会更低。这也意味着居民选择居住地时,菜品多样性福利的影响不会很大,或者说,城市人口分布对于菜品多样性而言是相对比较外生的。
    (15)由于长期以来的计划生育政策,我国的人口增长率较低,同时近年来各地生育率屡创新低,短时间内人口数量不太可能发生剧烈的变化,因此这一假设较为合理。
    (16)最新的研究中,也有通过结构式估计的方法来构造反事实的中国城市人口在消除了人口迁移摩擦之后的最优分布(刘修岩和李松林,2017),并发现人口迁移摩擦确实是中国城市人口分布扁平化的最关键原因。本文利用美国的参数作为参照构造的反事实也发现,中国城市人口分布会更加集中,虽然有细节上的差别,从大方向上看是一致的。
