Abstract The 13th Five Year Plan of the National Basic Public Service System plays an important role in promoting the equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas. Based on the panel data of 242 prefecture level cities in 30 provinces of China from 2008 to 2018, this paper uses the spatial econometric model for empirical analysis. The study finds that the direct effect of cultural diversity on the equalization of public cultural services is negative and significant, that is, cultural diversity hinders the equalization of public cultural services in the region; the overall effect of economic growth on the equalization of public cultural services is positive and significant, and economic growth is indeed conducive to the promotion of public cultural services equal development in the region. Based on this, it is proposed that local governments should establish a differentiated supply system of public cultural products to effectively integrate local cultural resources, talents, volunteers and social organizations. We will increase financial investment in public cultural services and use government purchases to promote the gradual equalization of public cultural services in rural areas, border ethnic areas and urban rural fringe areas.

Abstract Using the commercial housing price data of 254 cities at prefecture level and above in China, this paper measures the cultural diversity by the diversity of Chinese dialects, and studies the impact of regional culture represented by dialects on urban housing prices. The research shows that after controlling the economic development level of the city, the urban ecological environment and other factors, the cultural diversity measured by dialect types has a significant negative impact on the price of urban commercial housing, that is, the more diverse the culture, the lower the house price, and the cultural diversity will restrain the house price by hindering the inflow of local population.
