在新增长理论中,人力资本是经济增长的重要投入变量,而健康是人力资本存量的重要构成要素。本文通过对相关理论和实证研究的综述,发现健康对经济增长有着重要的促进作用,并且健康与经济增长之间似乎能够形成良性循环,健康的改善对经济的健康增长有着重要意义。目前,我国居民的健康状况与发达国家相比存在着比较明显的差距,加强对我国居民的健康投资,将可以获得很大的经济收益。 In the new growth theory, human capital is an important input variable of economic growth, and health is an important component of human capital stock. Based on the review of the relevant theoretical and empirical studies, I find that health has an important role in promoting economic growth. It seems that the healthy and economic growth can form a virtuous cycle. The improvement of health is of great significance to the healthy growth of the economy. At present, the health status of residents in our country is obviously different from that of developed countries. To increase the health investment in our country's residents will achieve great economic benefits.
