摘要

本文利用中国住房政策形成的住房面积非连续性，研究了住房财富如何影响城镇老年人参加商业医疗保险。实证结果表明，住房财富对城镇居民参加商业医疗保险具有正向影响，曾经或目前在非公有制经济部门工作、只有一个子女和没有儿子的老年人对住房财富的意外增长具有更高的反应性。此外，住房财富诱发的保险购买丰收只对拥有全部住房所有权的城市老年人有效，而拥有部分住房所有权和租房的老年人对住房政策几乎没有反应。

A tale of two markets—would housing appreciation prompt insurance participation? Evidence from China’s urban elderly

This paper investigates how housing wealth affects urban elderly’s commercial health insurance participation by using the discontinuity along housing size formed by China’s housing policies. The empirical results reveal a positive effect of housing wealth on urbanites’ enrolment in commercial health insurance, with elderly previously or currently working in non-public sectors, only having one child, and not having a son exhibiting higher responsiveness to unexpected gains in housing wealth. Moreover, the bumper housing wealth-induced insurance purchasing only takes effect for urban elderly having full homeownership, whereas those with partial ownership and tenants hardly react to housing policies.
