摘要
基于断点回归设计,使用分布检验方法研究了教育对健康的分布处理效应。研究结果表明:教育能够显著改善健康状况较差或良好人群的健康水平,也能够在一定程度上改善部分健康状况较好人群的健康水平;随着健康水平的提高,教育对健康的积极影响整体上呈现出递减趋势。具体到身体健康和认知功能健康,教育能够使营养状况正常或较差人群的BMI显著提高0.16~0.43个标准差,使身体状况良好或患有一般疾病人群的医疗费用显著降低0.02~0.2个标准差,使认知功能较好、正常或较差人群的认知功能显著提高0.06~1.99个标准差,健康状况越差的人受到的影响越大。因此,在改善贫困地区亚健康人口的健康水平上,以及在应对老龄化挑战方面,适当增加教育投入可能会达到事半功倍的效果。
Based on regression discontinuity design,this paper uses distributional tests to study the effect of education on the distribution of health.The results of the study show that education can significantly improve the health of people with poor or normal health,and to a certain extent,it can also improve the health of some people with good health;with the improvement of health,the effect of education on health is decreasing.Specific to physical health and cognitive health,education can significantly increase the BMI of people with normal or poor nutritional status by 0.16 to 0.43 standard deviations,significantly reduce the medical expenses of people with normal health or with general diseases by 0.02 to 0.2 standard deviation,and significantly improve the cognitive function of people with good,normal or poor cognitive ability by 0.06 to 1.99 standard deviations.People with poorer health will be affected to a larger degree.Therefore,in improving the health of the sub-healthy population in poverty-stricken areas and in responding to the challenges of aging,an appropriate increase in education investment may achieve a multiplier effect with half the effort.
