摘要

文章采用2005—2015年中国31个省份的面板数据,从全国及分区域视角探究国际贸易与居民健康水平之间的作用机制,衡量中介变量的影响效果,基于多种环境指标分析国际贸易是否加重了中国环境污染程度并对居民健康造成了损害。通过对于整体及区域的分析,研究发现贸易与污染及居民健康之间存在作用关系,在不同区域呈现出不同方向的影响,并通过不同的污染物种类形成传导路径。从整体角度来说,出口贸易可以显著提升居民健康水平。东部及中部地区进口活动越活跃,对于居民健康有显著负面影响,而西部地区出口活动则与居民健康水平存在着正向影响关系。
        Using panel data during 2005-2015 from 31 provinces in China, this article explores the interaction mechanism between international trade and the health of residents from the national and regional perspectives. This paper further documents the intermediary variables' effects from specific pollution indicators to clarify whether foreign trade increases environmental pollution and harms the health of the residents in China or not. Based on the econometric results from national and regional levels, we find that there are interlaced and complex relationships between trade, pollution and resident health.The effects are heterogeneous across different regions, and the effects are transmitted through different types of pollutants.From a whole point of view, exports can significantly improve the health level of the residents. However, in the eastern and central regions, the more active in imports, the lower the residents' health conditions would be, while the western region's export activities are positively related to the health level of the residents.
