报告题目：Health Consequences of Rural-to-Urban Migration: Evidence from Panel Data in China
Abstract: This paper provides new empirical evidence on the health consequences of rural-to-urban migration in China from 2003 to 2006. We use a new panel dataset constructed by the Research Center on the Rural Economy (RCRE) at the Ministry of Agriculture in China to investigate the short and medium term effects of migration on health status. By combining propensity-score matching (PSM) and difference-in-difference approach (DID), we attempt to overcome the migration endogeneity and estimate the average treatment effect on the treated. We find that the short-term effect of migration on health in China is close to zero and not statistically significant. One possible reason for this finding is that the mechanisms through which migration can affect health offset each other, at least in the short run. However, the medium term effect of migration on health is significantly negative.
