中医药卫生费用与我国经济增长的协整关系研究

Study on Cointegration Relationship between Chinese Medicine Health Expenditure and China's Economic Growth

基于协整理论分析我国中医药卫生费用投入与经济增长的关系,应用柯布道格拉斯生产函数解释其影响机制并建立回归模型。以1987—2013年国内生产总值与中医药卫生费用投入的年度数据进行统计检验。结果显示中医药卫生费用与经济增长之间存在长期均衡的正相关关系,其影响机制表现为中医药费用投入的增加提高了劳动力工作时长进而促进经济增长。

The relationship between traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)expenditure and economic growth was analyzed based on cointegration theory,and Cobb-Douglas production function was adopted to explain the impact mechanism and establish regression model.The annual data of GDP and TCM expenditure of China from 1987 to 2013 was used for statistical analysis.The results showed the long-term positive correlation between TCM expenditure and economic growth.The impact mechanism was that the increase in TCM expenditure increased the working hours of labor and promoted economic growth.
