摘要

本研究利用 1972-2019 年间 188 个国家的面板数据,研究了民主对公共卫生的影响。我们使用了多种回归方法,如集合普通最小二乘法、固定效应、动态广义矩法(GMM)、分割样本法和二次模型来解决计量经济学问题。集合回归支持对健康的积极影响,但这种影响在低收入国家并不存在,这可以用门槛效应来解释。固定效应回归证实了对婴儿死亡率的积极影响,但对预期寿命没有影响,这说明了民主对预期寿命的历史和累积效应。非线性回归发现民主与婴儿死亡率之间呈 U 型关系,这与固定效应回归结果一致,即对低收入群体的死亡率有积极影响。动态 GMM 回归显示了以往健康状况与当前健康状况之间预期的密切关系。总体而言,回归分析支持民主对公共卫生的积极影响。

Does Democracy Matter for Public Health?

This study examines the effect of democracy on public health by using panel data of 188 countries over the period 1972-2019. We use various regression methods, such as pooled ordinary least squares, fixed effects, dynamic generalized method of moments (GMM), a split-sample method, and a quadratic model to address econometric issues. The pooled regression supports the positive effect on health, but it does not exist in low-income countries, which can be explained by the threshold effect. The fixed effects regression confirms the positive impact on infant mortality but not on life expectancy, which illustrates the historical and cumulative effect of democracy on life expectancy. The non-linear regression finds a U-shaped relationship between democracy and infant mortality, which is consistent with the fixed effects regression result of the positive effect on mortality in the low-income group. The dynamic GMM regression shows the expected strong relationship between previous health and current health status. Overall, the regression analysis supports the positive effect of democracy on public health.
