Health shocks and household education burden influence levels of expenditure on healthcare and education, which are two major non-discretionary expenditures for households. From the perspective of relative poverty alleviation in China and based on the peer effects theory, this study uses the dataset from the rural areas in CFPS database and employs the spatial Durbin model and spatial DID model to investigate-when a household suffers health shocks-the influence of such impact on the education burden of closely related households and to test the effect of single rescue policy in this circumstance. Further, this study employs a spatial mediating effect model to analyze the spatial transmission mechanism. The results indicate that when a household has health shocks, it can aggravate the education burden of closely related households through inter-household social networks. The findings substantiate that the targets of different rescue policies have cross effects and that single rescue policy does not have significant effect on the targets of other policies. To avoid the situation where rescue policies operate in silos and to reduce the internal coordination cost between different policies within a system, a coordinating mechanism should be established between different rescue policies to better alleviate relative poverty.
健康冲击和家庭教育负担影响家庭在医疗保健和教育方面的支出水平，这是家庭的两项主要非任意性支出。基于中国相对贫困缓解的视角，并基于同辈影响理论，本研究使用来自 CFPS 数据库中农村地区的数据，采用空间 Durbin 模型和空间 DID 模型，考察了当一个家庭遭受健康冲击时，这种冲击对密切相关家庭的教育负担的影响，并检验了这种情况下单一救助政策的效果。此外，本研究还采用空间中介效应模型分析了空间传递机制。结果表明，当一个家庭遭受健康冲击时，它可以通过家庭间社会网络加重密切相关家庭的教育负担。研究结果证实，不同救助政策的目标具有交叉效应，单一救助政策对其他政策的目标没有显著影响。为避免救助政策各自为政的局面，降低系统内不同政策之间的内部协调成本，应在不同救助政策之间建立协调机制，以更好地缓解相对贫困。
