During the last few decades, income inequality in emerging Asian economies has been increased dramatically. It is widely recognized that income inequality has severely impacted population health. This study attempts to estimate the impact of income inequality on health outcomes in emerging Asian economies for a time horizon ranging from 1991 to 2019. Our empirical analysis shows that income inequality has a negative effect on life expectancy in the long run. We also find that positive changes in income inequality decrease life expectancy, but a negative change in income inequality increases life expectancy in the long run in emerging Asian economies. The symmetric and asymmetric results are robust to different measures of econometric methods. Thus, governments should pay more attention to the consequences of their economic policies on income inequality to improve health outcomes.
在过去的几十年中，新兴亚洲经济体的收入不平等现象急剧加剧。人们普遍认识到，收入不平等严重影响了人口健康。本研究试图估计收入不平等对新兴亚洲经济体健康结果的影响，时间范围从 1991 年到 2019 年。我们的实证分析表明，收入不平等从长远来看对预期寿命有负面影响。我们还发现，收入不平等的积极变化会降低预期寿命，但从长远来看，收入不平等的负向变化会增加新兴亚洲经济体的预期寿命。对称和非对称结果在不同的计量经济学方法度量下都是稳健的。因此，政府应该更加关注其经济政策对收入不平等的影响，以改善健康结果。
