Regional Environment and Health:Pattern Recognition,Diachronic Evolution and Interactive Effects
During the period of transformative socioeconomic development in China,environmental and health issues have become more prominent.It was of significant importance to study the evolving patterns and influencing mechanisms of the two.Based on measuring environmental and health data from China's 31 provinces and cities from 2010 to 2017,this paper utilized a four-quadrant model to conduct both static and dynamic analyses of the results.Additionally,the interaction effects between environment and health was explored through simultaneous equations and the quantile regression model.The results showed that,there was no significant geographical pattern regarding environmental conditions.However,the health condition was better in the eastern region compared to the central and western regions.The upgrade in regions following an"environment-health"ascending pattern was limited,with the central and western regions being predominant,and the process was mainly in its later stages of evolution.The"environment-health"stable pattern accounted for the majority of regional evolution,while the descending pattern was more commonly seen in northern regions.There existed a positive interactive relationship between environment and health,with elasticity coefficients decreasing as each improves.
