Abstract: Taking 291 prefecture-level cities in China as the basic analysis unit, the Theil index is used to analyze the spatial-temporal difference pattern of urban residential investment in China from 2000 to 2014; and geo-detectors are applied to analyze the driving forces of urban residential investment differences in various regions of China. Research shows that from 2000 to 2014, urban residential investment in various regions increased year by year, and the spatial-temporal differentiation was significant. The urban residential investment in the eastern, central and western regions was significantly different. The cities with large residential investment were mainly distributed in the Bohai Rim region, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, eastern coastal cities, and capital cities in central China. According to the analysis of the Theil index, the inter-regional differences and intra-regional differences in urban residential investment are gradually decreasing. According to the analysis of geo-detectors, urban permanent residents, built-up area, fixed assets investment and real estate practitioners are four important factors that affect the differentiation of urban residential investment.

Key words: residential investment, space-time difference, Thiel index, geo-detector
