ABSTRACT
In this study, by means of VAR and SVAR model with long-run restriction, we study the interaction among urban employment in China, urbanization and economic development to analyze the rationality of Chinas new urbanization. The results shows that for China, an increase of urban employment brings about a strongly positive impact on the secondary and tertiary industry in the previous four or five years; the impact of an increase in the value-added of the secondary and tertiary industry on urban employment is positive in the first year and decreases in the next two or three years and finally reaches a new positive level; an increase in the number of employed persons in the urban area greatly raises the dem and for energy consumption in seven years. Therefore, the Chinese Government should work out and roll out its new policies and measures to stimulate Chinas economy in these key time points and according to the priorities of the secondary and tertiary industry, simultaneously protect and explore energy and related high technology to avoid energy depletion.
