This paper explores the relationship of advanced human capital structure with public health applying the panel threshold regression model in China. The empirical results highlight that the advanced human capital structure has a non-linear single threshold effect on population health indicators. The health-promoting effect of advanced human capital structure is significantly weaker when exceeding the threshold. These asymmetric effects are strongly related to the response of China's health policies. The promotion effect of the advanced human capital structure on public health has significant heterogeneity in different regions. There is a single threshold value in the eastern and central regions, but the threshold value and facilitation effect are different. However, the western region has no threshold. The heterogeneity effects are caused by the different levels of advanced human capital structure. Governments should adopt appropriate public health policies according to the development characteristics of different regions.
本文运用面板门限回归模型，探讨了中国高级人力资本结构与公共卫生的关系。实证结果表明，高级人力资本结构对人口健康指标具有非线性的单一门限效应。当超过门槛值时，高级人力资本结构的促进健康效应显著减弱。这些非对称效应与中国卫生政策的响应密切相关。高级人力资本结构对公共卫生的促进作用在不同地区具有显著的异质性。东部和中部地区存在单一的门槛值，但门槛值和促进效果不同。然而，西部地区则没有门槛值。这种异质性效应是由高级人力资本结构的不同水平造成的。政府应根据不同地区的发展特点，采取适当的公共卫生政策。
