The effects of import competition on health in the local economy
研究发现，美国地方劳动力市场受中国进口竞争冲击越大，在职员工的心理、身体和总体健康越差，其中心理健康影响最大，同时医疗可负担性下降。
We provide evidence that average mental, physical, and general health worsens for employed workers in local U.S. labor markets exposed to greater import competition from China. The effects are greatest for mental health. Moving a region from the 25th to 75th percentiles of import exposure corresponds to a 7.8% increase in the morbidity of poor mental health, adding about 3 days of poor mental health per year for the average adult. Concurrently, the ability to afford health care decreases. Our results complement documented consequences of import competition on labor markets and temporary business cycle shocks on health outcomes.
