健康人力资本对经济增长影响研究——基于我国省级面板数据的经验分析

Study of Economic Growth under the Perspective of Health Human Capital——Based on Empirical Analysis of Provincial Panel Data

在C-D生产函数中引入健康人力资本,利用1993—2013年我国省级面板数据,应用静态固定效应模型估计健康人力资本对全国经济增长的影响。实证分析结果表明,虽然物质资本的贡献占据了主导地位,但是每万人拥有的卫生技术人员数代表的健康人力资本每提高1%,经济增长0.554 8%;每万人拥有的床位数所代表的健康人力资本每减少1%,经济增长0.233 7%。研究表明,健康人力资本对我国经济增长起到了重要的作用。

Based on C-D Production Function,the relationship between health human capital and national economic growth is estimated by introducing health human capital and using provincial panel data from 1993 to 2013 and static fixed effects model. The empirical analysis results show that physical capital is the major force to promote economic growth,but increasing in every one percentage point of health human capital represented by health technical personnel by per million people owned will cause increase of 0. 5548% in economic growth; and reducing in one percentage point health human capital represented by the number of bed per million people owned will cause increase of 0. 5548% in economic growth. Therefore,health human capital has played an important role for economic growth in China.
