Institutions, Local Agency, and Allegiance: Healthcare Provision in Colonial India
利用新型地理参考数据集，研究殖民时期印度医院和诊所的资金来源，发现自耕农地区公共医疗资金更充足，而地主地区更多依赖私人捐赠。
This paper uses a novel georeferenced cross-sectional dataset to explore which factors influenced the funding of hospitals and dispensaries in colonial India, emphasizing land tenure systems as a cause of regional variation. Where land was owned by cultivators, healthcare facilities received more resources from local public bodies and were better funded compared to regions where land was owned by landlords. In contrast, in landlord regions they received more private donations and subscriptions from Indians.
