摘要

2003 年，中国启动了针对农村家庭的公共医疗保健计划--新合作医疗计划（NCMS）。虽然文献大多考虑了新农合对健康结果的影响，但我们调查了新农合对劳动力供给和家庭储蓄水平的潜在影响。为了减少因家庭自我分类进入 NCMS 保险范围而产生的内生性偏差，我们使用了跨越 20 年的面板数据来估计差分模型和工具变量（2SLS）模型。我们发现，NCMS 的覆盖使总劳动力供给减少了约 8%。与 Borjas（2003 年）的研究结果一致，我们发现 NCMS 对高收入家庭的影响更大。

The effect of the new cooperative medical scheme on rural labor supply in China

In 2003, China launched the New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS), a public healthcare plan targeting rural households. While the literature mostly considers the impact of NCMS coverage on health outcomes, we investigate potential impacts on labor supply and household savings levels. To mitigate endogeneity bias driven by households self-sorting into NCMS coverage, we use panel data spanning two decades to estimate difference-in-differences and instrumental variables (2SLS) models. We find NCMS coverage reduced aggregate labor supply by roughly 8%. Consistent with Borjas (2003), we find the NCMS impacts are larger for higher income households.

期刊介绍： The China Economic Review publishes original works of scholarship which add to the knowledge of the economy of China and to economies as a discipline. We seek, in particular, papers dealing with policy, performance and institutional change. Empirical papers normally use a formal model, a data set, and standard statistical techniques. Submissions are subjected to double-blind peer review.
