摘要

本研究考察了 1980-2018 年间 37 个经合组织国家的福利国家或社会支出构成与健康人力资本之间的关系。我们的研究结果证实，公共卫生支出对健康资本形成有积极影响。根据其他九个社会支出类别对社会支出进行分析后发现，养老金和失业救济金对健康人力资本的形成有积极影响。其余社会项目的结果则因使用的健康资本替代物和估算方法而异。由此看来，更全面、更普遍的社会计划（可能是通过保障必要的收入）能更好地改善健康人力资本。

Health human capital formation in the OECD: Exploring the role of welfare state composition

This study examines the relationship between welfare state or social expenditure composition and health human capital in 37 OECD countries spanning 1980–2018. Our findings confirm that public health spending has a positive effect on health capital formation. Dissecting social expenditure according to other nine social spending categories reveals a positive influence for old age pensions and unemployment benefits. The results for the remaining social programs vary with the health capital proxy and estimation method used. It thus appears that more comprehensive and universal social programs, possibly by guaranteeing the necessary income, do a better job in improving health human capital.
