亲子利他性与经济增长:来自中国的经验分析

Philoprogenitive Altruism and Economic Growth: Empirical Analysis from China

本文采用中国2008-2011年四年间的数据,考察了父母的亲子利他性与区域经济增长之间的关联。运用面板数据的固定效应模型和工具变量法,本文的分析结果表明:(1)中国父母的亲子利他性表现出明显地与后天经济状况相关的社会利他性倾向。经济越发达的地区,父母的亲子利他性程度越强;(2)利他性程度与社会在教育、健康等方面的公共补贴负相关;(3)在利他性促进人力资本形成和抑制物质资本积累的正反两方面经济增长效应中,负增长效应居于主导地位。

This paper adopts the data of China for 4 years from 2008 to 2011 and investigates the link between parents' philoprogenitive altruism and regional economic growth. Based on the fixed effect model and IV,the analysis results of this paper show that:( 1) The philoprogenitive altruism of Chinese parents has the social altruistic tendency that is clearly related to postnatal economic status. The more developed a region's economy,the stronger the philoprogenitive altruism of parents;( 2) Negative correlation exists between altruistic degree and social public subsidy in education and health;( 3) Between the positive and negative economic growth effects that altruism promotes the formation of human capital and inhibits the accumulation of material capital,negative effect growth occupies a leading position.
