Research On Distribution Of Urban Common Resource In China's Urbanization Process

The discrimination of urban common resource distribution not only increase the living cost of peasant workers, but also hurt the social welfare as a whole. Due to barriers from institution and policy, though they have entered the urban labor market as the new industrial workers, peasant workers still can not share the same urban common resource, and it must hinder the process the China's urbanization. So it is quite important to study on how to sweep these barriers for reasonable distribution of urban common resource and realize the basic interests and social welfare for peasant workersThe paper firstly gave the basic definition of the common resource which would be discussed in the article considering the peasant workers' actual condition. And then it mainly discussed the resource distribution gap between peasant workers and citizens based on analyzing the concrete conditions in different cities. These discriminations were found mainly from unbalanced distribution of social security, education resource, employment training and housing subsidy. This paper also used the data of Hang Zhou for empirical analysis to unveil the problem existing during the distribution of urban common resource.After that, this paper further discussed the deep-seated reasons on these discriminations during the urbanization process using the relative theories of institutional economics, public economics and urban economics. Based on paradox of collective behavior and path dependence of institutional change, this paper probed into the barriers for resource distribution and the relations of different interest groups.Finally combining the institutional innovation and the theory of supply of public goods, this paper made the suggestions for eliminating this discrimination of peasant workers.
