Non-linear Impact of China's Economic Growth on the Health of Residents—An Empirical Study Based on TVP-FAVAR Model
This paper uses the 74-dimensional macroeconomic data set from 2005 to 2017 as a sample to construct a TVP-FAVAR model to empirically study the impact of China's economic growth on the health of residents. The study found that China's economic growth has an impact on the health of resident...
