Education Impact on Health Shocks: Evidence from C.H.N.S. Data

Abstract

In the digital era, social and economic development directly related to education and health. The key question is to figure out the link between health and human capital through education. To solve this research question, the present study has investigated the impact of education on health shocks whether these health shocks are subjective or objective. To estimate the causal linkage including education and health, the Chinese Health and Nutrition Survey is examined through linear and multi-logit regression models respectively. The empirical estimates infer that higher education has a significant positive impact on health shocks, irrespective the subjective or an objective one. It also unfolds that it is more apparent in the Subjective than the objective health shock. Moreover, the more years of formal education significantly decreases the Subjective health shock.
