摘要

我们研究了医疗保险对农业生产决策的影响，通过利用医疗改革来检验因果关系，并提供了一个理论框架来阐明内在机制。我们发现，改革导致了种植业总投资和产出的长期增长，并伴随着家庭种植组合向风险较高作物的转移。我们利用农业投资模型解释了这些发现，并强调了医疗保险在降低背景医疗支出风险和提高健康水平方面的重要作用。我们还发现，改革通过减少债务和拖欠贷款改善了家庭的财务状况。

Health insurance, agricultural production and investments

We study the effects of health insurance coverage on agricultural production decisions, examining the causal relationships by exploiting a health care reform and providing a theoretical framework to elucidate underlying mechanisms. We find that the reform led to long-run increases in total cultivation investments and output, accompanied by a shift in households’ cultivation portfolio towards riskier crops. We explain these findings using a model of agricultural investment, highlighting the important roles of health insurance in mitigating background medical expenditure risks and enhancing health. We also find that the reform improved households’ financial well-being through reduced debts and defaults on loans.
