On the measurement of the nation's equity adjusted health
提出一种测量国家公平调整健康的方法，利用瑞典政客调查数据估算健康函数，发现1986-1990年间平均健康年数增加1.09%，但公平调整后健康年数下降1.78%，表明整体健康水平下降。
The aim of this article is to show a method for measuring the nation's equity-adjusted health. In order to estimate what the 'nation's health function' looks like, data from a survey sent to a sample of Swedish politicians were used. The results from the survey can be interpreted as a measure of inequity aversion, and this was applied to data on healthy years (HY) for males in different social groups for the period 1975-1990. The mean of healthy years increased during the period 1986-1990 by 1.09% while equity adjusted healthy years (HY(EDE)) dropped by -1.78%. The nation's health has decreased in spite of the fact that the individual's health has increased.
