题目: Insurances, Consumption and Savings: A Longitudinal Analysis on Rural-to-Urban Migrants in China
摘要: This paper investigates the relationship between insurance and consumption (saving rate) for rural-to-urban migrants in China. We conduct OLS and fixed effect analysis based on a unique longitudinal survey. Our preferred results show that being insured by city insurance is associated with increases in non-insurance consumption per capita by more than 2.5% and non-insurance-and-health-related consumption by more than 2.3%. Overall, being insured by city insurance is associated with a decrease in saving rate by more than 2.6 percentage points. These associations are statistically significant and robust to a number of specifications. We also find that the association is stronger in high-educated migrants and local migrants migrated within the same prefecture. In the analysis on each expenditure category, we find that being insured by city insurance is significantly positively associated with short-run consumption (mainly food), long-run consumption (mainly durables and education consumption) and investment.
