The purpose of this research project is to demonstrate that there is not only correlation but also a causal relation between Health-Medical Environments and Economic Environments in developing countries in general. We choose Thailand out of many countries on various development stages for our analysis, and divide the country into eight regions, Bangkok Metropolis, Vicinity of Bangkok, Southern Region, Northern Region, Northeast Region, West Region, East Region and Midland Region. The first important point is that from various data concerning Health and Medical Environment and Economic Environment we could make sure correlation between those two environments in both urban and rural areas. Even more important is that we managed to proved a hypothesis that there is a causal relation related to production function between those environments.

本研究项目的目的是证明，在发展中国家，健康医疗环境和经济环境之间不仅存在相关性，而且存在因果关系。在众多处于不同发展阶段的国家中，我们选择泰国作为分析对象，并将其划分为八个区域：曼谷大都会、曼谷周边区、南部区域、北方区域、东北部区域、西部区域、东部区域和米德兰区域。第一个重要的观点是，从有关健康和医疗环境和经济环境的各种数据中，我们可以确定城市和农村地区这两种环境之间的相关性。更重要的是，我们成功地证明了一个假设，即这些环境之间存在与生产函数相关的因果关系。
