本文利用英国家庭小组调查（BHPS）的八个阶段（1991-1998年）考虑了自我评估健康的分类指标的动态。我们的分析有三个重点：国家依赖性和异质性在解释健康动态方面的相对贡献，与健康相关的样本损耗的存在和后果，以及对社会经济地位措施影响的调查，特别关注教育程度和收入。为了研究这些问题，我们使用动态面板有序概率模型。数据中有与健康相关的明显损耗证据，但这并未扭曲对国家依赖性和健康方面的社会经济梯度的估计。这些模型显示出强烈的正状态依赖性和异质性，约占无法解释的健康变化的30%。版权所有：John Wiley Sons， Ltd. 2004
This paper considers the dynamics of a categorical indicator of self-assessed health using eight waves (1991-1998) of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS). Our analysis has three focal points: the relative contributions of state dependence and heterogeneity in explaining the dynamics of health, the existence and consequences of health-related sample attrition, and the investigation of the effects of measures of socioeconomic status, with a particular focus on educational attainment and income. To investigate these issues we use dynamic panel ordered probit models. There is clear evidence of health-related attrition in the data but this does not distort the estimates of state dependence and of the socioeconomic gradient in health. The models show strong positive state dependence and heterogeneity accounts for around 30% of the unexplained variation in health. Copyright (C) 2004 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
