Abstract

This study analysed the effects of flush toilet use on health and non-health expenditures incurred by rural Chinese. The instrumental-variable-based Tobit and endogenous treatment regression models were used to analyse the 2016 China Labour Force Dynamics Survey data while addressing the selection bias inherent in flush toilet use. The results showed that by improving rural residents' physical and mental health, flush toilet use reduced per capita health expenditure while increasing non-health expenditure. Furthermore, using flush toilets had positive spillover effects, reducing the health expenditures of even those who did not use them. Factors affecting flush toilet use were also analysed.

冲水马桶的使用及其对健康和非健康支出的影响

本研究分析了水冲式厕所的使用对中国农村居民健康和非健康支出的影响。研究采用基于工具变量的 Tobit 模型和内生处理回归模型，分析了 2016 年中国劳动力动态调查数据，同时解决了水冲式厕所使用中固有的选择偏差问题。结果表明，使用水冲式厕所可以改善农村居民的身心健康，从而减少人均卫生支出，同时增加非卫生支出。此外，使用水冲式厕所还产生了积极的溢出效应，甚至减少了那些不使用水冲式厕所的人的健康支出。还分析了影响水冲式厕所使用的因素。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
