摘要：

本文利用2004年和2006年中国9个省份的家庭调查面板数据, 研究收入、相对收入和农村居民健康之间的关系。发现健康状况随着个人收入的增加而改善, 呈现出明显的非线性关系;收入差距对健康的滞后影响, 呈现倒"U"型关系。此外, 当基尼系数在0.387以下时, 农村居民健康水平将会随着基尼系数的扩大而改善, 当收入差距进一步扩大时, 健康水平将受到损害。而数据显示68%的农村居民在倒"U"右侧, 健康正受到扩大的收入差距侵蚀。

It uses China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) 2004 and 2006 data sets to examine the relation between income, income inequality and health in the rural area of China. It finds that health improves with rising income but the relation appears to be nonlinear. Income inequality has a lagged effect on the health condition and the relation exhibits inverted U-shape. Rising inequality tends to improve health when gini coefficient is less than 0. 387, but harm health when gini coefficient is above this level. About 68% citizens in rural area of China are in the right-hand side of inverted U-shape and income inequality does harm to their health condition.
