摘要
健康与经济增长的关系是经济学研究的经典话题。本文在有效缓解内生性问题的基础上,考察了经济增速放缓对国民心理健康的影响。研究发现,近年来经济增速的放缓导致国民心理健康受到负向影响。机制讨论显示,随着经济增速放缓,劳动力市场受到冲击,工作满意度下降;家庭的经济压力加大,发展型消费支出的负担加重,挤压了享受型消费。拓展性分析表明,中老年、农村人口、低教育水平群体心理健康受到的负向影响更大。
In this paper,we examine the impact of economic slowdown on mental health.In order to alleviate endogeneity,we use export growth as the instrumental variable.The estimation results show that economic growth has a significant positive effect on mental health,which means economic slowdown has worsened mental health in recent years.Mechanism analysis suggests that with economic slowdown,work satisfaction declines,the burden of consumption on necessities increases,entertainment and leisure are squeezed.Heterogeneity analysis suggests that the negative effects are stronger on rural,middle-aged and elderly and low education population.
