Agriculture Growth and Cognitive Ability Development:Evidence from China's Agricultural Reform

导出

摘要已有的关于中国农业改革成效的研究忽略了农业改革对健康的影响。本文研究中国的农业改革对认知能力的影响,在一定程度上弥补了现有文献的不足。利用1987年和2006年两期中国残疾人抽样调查数据,我们发现8—20岁人群的认知残疾发病率在此期间下降了1.34个百分点,而农业改革解释了其中的74.68%。这些发现支持"胎儿起源假说",即胎儿在母体内的不利环境会影响其一生的健康状况。农业改革不仅奠定了中国的经济改革,还提高了人们的健康水平。 Existing studies on agricultural reform have neglected its effect on health. This paper complements them by examining the effect of China＇s agricultural reform on cognitive ability. Using data from the survey of disabled population of China in 1987 and 2006, we find that the incidence of cognitive disability of cohorts aged 8--20 declined by 1.34 percentage points during the time period, of which the agricultural reform accounts for 74.68~. This finding supports the Ufetal origin hypothesis＂ and implies that the impact of agricultural reform might be deeper and broader than previous studies have contended.
