新农合是否提升了农村居民幸福感？——基于中国家庭金融调查的实证研究
|
Abstract:
本文基于面板数据，从人口统计特征、家庭经济特征和区域社会经济特征三大方面深入概括和提取对中国农村居民主观幸福感的影响因素，通过控制如上因素，借助Ordered Xtlogit模型考察参与新农合对主观幸福感直接影响，同时采用PSM方法验证了结果稳健性和可靠性。其次，以可支配收入为中介变量，构建中介效应模型，发现了参与新农合对主观幸福感的间接影响机制；最后，在收入水平和年龄结构两方面上展开参与新农合对主观幸福感异质性分析。
Based on panel data, this paper deeply summarizes and extracts the factors affecting the subjective well-being of Chinese rural residents from three aspects: demographic characteristics, family econo-mic characteristics, and regional socioeconomic characteristics. By controlling the above factors, the Ordered Xtlogit model is used to examine the direct impact of participating in the New Rural Cooperative Medical System on subjective well-being, and the PSM method is used to verify the robustness and reliability of the results. Secondly, with disposable income as the mediating variable, a mediation effect model is constructed, and the indirect impact mechanism of participating in the New Rural Cooperative Medical System on subjective well-being is found; finally, the heterogeneity of participating in the New Rural Cooperative Medical System on subjective well-being is analyzed in terms of income level and age structure.
