Abstract

Environmental pollution and economic growth have great impacts on public health, but the dynamic relationship analysis among them based on different areas' panel data is missing in existing literatures. Based on Grossman's health production function, environmental pollution factors are added to study the effects of environmental pollution, economic growth and healthcare service on public health. Using the panel data of 30 provinces in China from year 1997 to 2010, the entity fixed effects model is established and the difference among east area, middle area and west area in China is analyzed. The results show that there is a long equilibrium cointegration relationship between environmental pollution, economic growth, healthcare services and public health, and an inverted U curve is presented between economic growth and public health in the east, middle and overall China significantly. Specifically the curve has met its knee point in the east, and will meet its knee point if per GDP is 3311 Yuan in the middle. Industrial soot emissions has significant positive effect on human mortality in each areas of China, but industrial so2 emissions only has significant effect on human mortality in the middle area. At the same time, correlation between the doctor per person and human mortality is significantly negative, while it does not occur in the west area. And healthcare services spending per capita is significantly negative on human mortality in the middle area. The medical services can effectively reduce health threats to the public. Therefore, formulating differential policies of environmental pollution, economic growth and healthcare services and so on are beneficial to improve the level of public health of overall China, eastern region and midwest.
