摘要
文章运用2007-2016年中国省级面板数据,探析我国政府卫生支出、健康人力资本对中国农村经济增长的影响及其区域差异和门槛特征。研究发现:(1)全样本估计结果表明,政府卫生支出的增加对中国农村经济增长具有显著和稳定的推动作用,健康人力资本通过农村医疗卫生资源存量渠道推动了中国农村经济增长,且估计结果稳健;(2)分地区检验发现,在其他条件不变的情况下,所有地区财政医疗卫生支出对中国农村经济增长的正向冲击依然显著,而关键解释变量健康人力资本存量的提高对中部、西部地区农村经济增长的影响较为显著,但对东部地区农村经济增长的影响并不显著,意味着健康人力资本的经济增长效应存在明显的区域异质性;(3)对模型门槛特征进行检验发现,在政府卫生支出的不同水平上,政府卫生支出与中国农村经济增长之间存在显著的非线性门槛关系。并且,健康人力资本对中国农村经济增长的弹性随着政府卫生支出水平的提高具有规模报酬递增效应。
This paper uses China’s provincial panel data from 2007 to 2016 to analyze the impact of Chinese government health care expenditures and healthy human capital on China’s rural economic growth,as well as the regional differences and threshold characteristics.Empirical results are as follows:1)The whole-sample estimation results show that the increase of government health care expenditure has a significant and stable promoting effect on China’s rural economic growth,and the healthy human capital promotes China’s rural economic growth through the channel of rural medical and health resources stock,and the estimated results are stable;2)Other things being equal,the positive impact of fiscal health care expenditure on China’s rural economic growth in all regions is still significant,while the increase of healthy human capital stock,a key explanatory variable,has a significant impact on rural economic growth in central and western China,but the impact on the economic growth of the eastern rural areas is not significant,which means that the economic growth effect of healthy human capital has obvious regional heterogeneity.3)Test on model threshold characteristics finds that at different levels of government health care expenditure,there is a significant non-linear threshold relationship between government health care expenditure and China’s rural economic growth.Moreover,the elasticity of healthy human capital on China’s rural economic growth has an increasing effect on scale returns with the increase of the level of government expenditure on health care.
