Studies from Guangdong University of Finance & Economics Describe New Findings in Economic Change and Restructuring (The Impact of Air Pollution On Commercial Health Insurance Demand Amidst China’s Green Transition): Economics – Economic Change and Restructuring

2024 APR 01 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- A new study on Economics - Economic Change and Restructuring is now available. According to news originating from Guangzhou, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The increasing public concern about health impacts from air pollution has been paralleled by a growth in commercial health insurance (CHI) demand in China. This study explores the relationship between air pollution and CHI demand using Chinese provincial panel data, applying linear and nonlinear models.”

Financial support for this research came from Philosophy and Social Science Planning Project of Guangdong Province.

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Guangdong University of Finance & Economics, “It finds a remarkable positive impact of air pollution on CHI demand, where an increase in lnPM2.5 per capita is linked to a proportional rise in per capita CHI premium income. This effect varies regionally, being notable in the eastern and central regions while negligible in the western region.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “In addition, the study identifies a nonlinear threshold effect of air pollution on CHI demand, characterized by increasing marginal efficiency and a double threshold pattern as per capita medical expenditures change.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
