Research on the Impact of Fiscal Medical and Health Expenditure on Industrial Structure Upgrading
As an important part of the state's public expenditure,fiscal medical and health expenditure is not only directly related to the well-being of the people and the health level of the people,but also has an important impact on the sustained economic growth and industrial restructuring.Based on China's provincial panel data from 2008 to 2019,this paper uses the mediation effect model to study the impact mechanism of fiscal medical and health expenditure on industrial structure upgrading,and conducts regional heterogeneity analysis.The results show that the increase of fiscal medical and health expenditure can significantly promote the upgrading of industrial structure,and the promotion effect decreases from west to east across the country.Further regional heterogeneity analysis shows that the mediating effect of consumer demand and human capital accumulation in the eastern region is greater than that in the central and western regions,and the intermediary effect of welfare distribution is smaller than that in the central and western regions.
