The purpose of the study is to analyze joint China-Kazakhstan projects in th…
Social causation, social selection, and economic selection in the health outcomes of Chinese older adults and their gender disparities
Social causation, social selection, and economic selection operate simultaneously on the self-rated health and depression score of older adults. However, the force magnitudes of the three hypotheses and/or their rankings differ by health outcomes and gender
Inequality of opportunity in outpatient expenditure among the elderly with multimorbidity
The priority of policy enhancement is to effectively improve the outpatient reimbursement benefit for treating chronic diseases. Additional crucial actions include enhancing the health literacy of the multimorbid elderly to promote the shift from medical needs to demands and accelerating the construction of rural capacity for providing high-quality healthcare to the elderly with multimorbidity
Healthcare costs attributable to abnormal weight in China
Abnormal weight imposes a huge economic burden on individuals, households and the society. Abnormal weight in Chinese adults significantly increased healthcare utilisation and costs, particular in non-inpatient care. It is recommended that government and relevant social agencies provide a better social environment to enhance individual self-perception and promote healthy weight
Individual-Level Health Care Costs Attributable to Noncommunicable Diseases
Noncommunicable chronic diseases among the elderly population represent a significant economic burden in China. However, previous disease-related health cost studies lacked representation of older adults and comparability of the burden of multiple chronic diseases. The objective of this study was to determine the fraction of health care costs attributable to the 6 most prevalent chronic diseases and comorbidities in the sample of older adults. Th…
Are more generous health insurance positively associated with health outcomes of the elderly? evidence from China
In China, Catastrophic Medical Insurance (CMI) has been piloted since 2012. Few research have examined the relationship between CMI and the health of the elderly, with the majority focusing on its effect on economic risks. This study utilized Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) data to investigate the relationship between CMI and health of the elderly. Difference-in-differences, Propensity score matching-difference in difference…
Awareness, Utilization and Health Outcomes of National Essential Public Health Service Among Migrants in China
Background: The national essential public health service (NEPHS) has been in operation for more than a decade. Numerous studies examined the utilization of NEPHS by migrants and the factors that influence it, but few examined the effect of NEPHS awareness and utilization on the health of inhabitants, particularly migrants. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the level of awareness and utilization of NEPHS, as well as to examine their health…
International capital markets and domestic employment
We study how access to the international capital market affects domestic employment. Using a large firm‐level panel data set that covers over 60 countries between 1982 and 2014, we find that access to the international capital market positively affects firm‐level employment, and the magnitude of this impact is economically significant. This causal effect is identified through a generalised triple‐differences identification strategy that exploits …
Healthcare Expenditures among the Elderly in China
China has been piloting the catastrophic medical insurance (CMI) program since 2012 and rolled it out nationally in 2016 to reduce the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure among Chinese residents. Few studies have been conducted to determine its effect on healthcare expenditures, particularly among the elderly. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of CMI on healthcare expenditures among China's elderly population. The data f…
Behavioral Intention and Its Predictors toward Covid-19 Booster Vaccination among Chinese Parents
The booster vaccination of COVID-19 is being implemented in most parts of the world. This study used behavioral psychology to investigate the predictors of parents' intentions regarding the COVID-19 booster vaccination for their children. This is a cross-sectional study with a self-designed questionnaire based on two behavioral theories-protective motivation theory (PMT) and theory of planned behavior (TPB). A stratified multi-stage sampling proc…
Health Conditions, Lifestyle Factors and Depression in Adults in Qingdao, China
Background: Depression is a common mental illness. Previous studies suggested that health conditions and lifestyle factors were associated with depression. However, only few studies have explored the risk factors of depression in a large representative sample of the general population in the world. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in the 2006 survey and 2009 survey in Qingdao, China. The participants with insuffici…
The Impact of Disability on Intergenerational Care Needs of the Elderly in China
This paper discussed the influence of disability and the degree of disability on the intergenerational needs of the elderly in terms of time and economy. The data is from the CLHLS in 2018. And the study discussed from 3 dimensions: nursing time, economic support, and medical cost support provided by children. The results showed that disability had a significant impact on the care time and medical expenses provided by adult children (care time: β…
Inequalities in health-related quality of life and the contribution from socioeconomic status
The results showed SES is positively associated with HRQoL among Tibetans in APA. There was a slight pro-rich inequality in the health of the participants and most health inequality was attributable to SES. This study is helpful in gaining an insight into the HRQoL, health inequality and the relationship between SES and health inequality among Tibetans of APA in China
Are People Enrolled in NCMS and CURBMI Susceptible in Catastrophic Health Expenditure? Evidence From China
This study investigated associations between different types of medical insurance and the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure among middle-aged and the aged in China. The data came from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey implemented in 2013, with 9782 individuals analyzed. Probit regression models and multiple linear regressions were employed to explore the relationship mentioned above and potential mechanisms behind it.…
Contract institution and differentiated exports
Institution is an important determinant of economic growth and development. Contract institution represents a major institution governing economic transactions between private agents. This paper examines how quality of contract institution in source and destination countries influences exports of homogeneous and heterogeneous goods. Using a large sample of cross-country bilateral disaggregate export data, we show that competitive advantages of fi…
Measurement and decomposition of income-related inequality in self-rated health among the elderly in China
The findings confirm a high proportion of elderly with poor SRH, and health inequality in the Chinese. Some socioeconomic strategies should be conducted to reduce this health inequality among the elderly, such as reducing income disparities, consolidating health insurance schemes, and narrowing urban-rural and regional gaps. Older females with low incomes in rural areas are a vulnerable subgroup and warrant targeted policy attention
Factors Associated With Prescribed Antenatal Care Utilization
With relatively sufficient antenatal health service supplies in eastern rural China, the utilization still needs to be improved. The objective of this study was to identify factors that correlate with antenatal care (ANC) utilization from the demand-side in Jiangsu, China. In a cross-sectional survey, a sample of 896 rural women who had a childbearing history in the previous 5 years answered ANC questions and formed the final analysis. Questionna…
Productivity Spillovers from Foreign Direct Investment
Consumption Risk‐Sharing in China
This paper empirically examines the degree of regional consumption risk‐sharing in China. It finds that less risk‐sharing is taking place across Chinese provinces than across US states and Canadian provinces, although its extent across the latter is somewhat higher than across the national boundaries of industrial countries. Specifically, about half of the fitted annual variation in provincial consumption growth is common to all Chinese provinces…
