摘要

本文利用2011年中国健康与退休纵向研究(CHARLS)的数据估计成年子女教育对父母健康的影响。我们发现，通过自我评估的健康状况，受教育程度较高的孩子的父母有更好的健康状况。使用地理位置接近学校作为工具变量，我们发现，孩子多受一年教育可以使父母健康状况良好的概率增加约7.7个百分点。基于另一种识别策略的估计证实了这一结果。我们还发现了一些有启发性的证据，表明吸烟行为、预防保健的使用，特别是慢性病的管理，是儿童教育可以改善父母健康的潜在渠道。

Children’s Education and Parental Health

In this paper we estimate the effect of adult children’s education on parental health using data from the 2011 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). We find that parents of better-educated children have better health, measured by self-rated health status. Using geographic proximity to school as the instrumental variable, we find that an extra year of children’s education could increase the probability of parental good health status by about 7.7 percentage points. This result is corroborated by the estimates based on an alternative identification strategy. We also find suggestive evidence that smoking behavior, use of preventive care, and especially management of chronic conditions are potential channels through which children’s education can improve parental health.
