Human health is an important concern that gradually exists in sustainable development goals. The key aim of this study is to examine the impacts of the rule of law on happiness and health using a time series data of China over the data period 1998-2020. The empirical analysis utilizes the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method to find out the short and long-run effects. Findings reveal that the rule of law stimulates happiness and human health in the long-run. More internet and GDP enhance happiness and human health in the long-run. The results also showed that health expenditure and education could not boost happiness and health in the long run, but unemployment's negative effect on health. Policymakers may use our empirical results to determine applicable policies to increase human health across China provinces.
人类健康是可持续发展目标中逐渐存在的一个重要关注点。本研究的主要目的是利用中国 1998-2020 年期间的时间序列数据，检验法治对幸福感和健康的影响。实证分析采用自回归分布滞后（ARDL）方法来找出短期和长期效应。研究结果表明，法治从长期来看会促进幸福感和人类健康。更多的互联网和 GDP 会促进幸福感和人类健康的长期增长。研究结果还表明，卫生支出和教育在长期内不能提高幸福感和健康水平，但失业对健康有负面影响。政策制定者可以利用我们的实证结果来确定适用于提高中国各省人类健康的政策。
