| 内容提要 | 作为同教育同等重要的一种人力资本形式，健康也一直被认为是决定各国经济增长和经济水平差异的一个重要因素。本文主要在文献研究的基础上，详细讨论了健康同经济增长和经济发展之间相互影响的各种机制。本文的研究表明，健康同经济增长和经济发展之间至少存在三种主要的相互作用机制：首先，健康通过各种直接或间接途径会对生产函数产生影响；其次，由于健康也是影响人们的效用水平，因此，健康会以健康消费和健康投资形式影响物质资本投资和教育人力资本投资以及其他选择方式；第三，经济增长和经济发展会通过食物以及营养消费水平和结构，对健康产生影响。由于这三种机制在现实经济中是相互作用的，所以，健康会在经济发展中产生各种问题，包括对经济增长机制的影响、多重均衡和贫困性陷阱、人口结构转型和经济转型，以及人口老龄化等问题。论文最后还就我国未来健康和社会经济发展方面所面临的问题进行了讨论。 |
| Abstract | Health is an important determinant factor in economic growth and development as the same as education.

The paper concluded that there are three mechanisms of interaction between health and economic growth and development: firstly, health may affect production function through directed and indirect channels. Secondly, since health affect utility function, health has effect on the physical capital investment and human capital investment through health investment. Thirdly, economic growth and development has effect on health through food and nutrition supplies.
