Effects of state‐level public spending on health on the mortality probability in India
利用印度第二次全国家庭健康调查数据，研究发现各邦公共卫生支出增加10%可使平均死亡概率降低约2%，对儿童、老年人和女性影响更显著。
This study uses the second National Family Health Survey of India to estimate the effect of state-level public health spending on mortality across all age groups, controlling for individual, household, and state-level covariates. We use a state's gross fiscal deficit as an instrument for its health spending. Our study shows a 10% increase in public spending on health in India decreases the average probability of death by about 2%, with effects mainly on the young, the elderly, and women. Other major factors affecting mortality are rural residence, household poverty, and access to toilet facilities.
