Household Assets and Health in China: Evidence and Policy Implications
Guo, B., Zhang, L., & Sherraden, M. (2008) (CSD Working Paper 08-28). St. Louis: Washington University, Center for Social Development.
From the abstract: "...this study focuses on effects of household assets on health in China. Specifically, the current study examines how household assets may affect health status and how assets differ from income in predicting health status. Using a random sample of Chinese elderly, we find that asset holding in the form of household durables and household utilities has both direct and indirect effects on health status. Household assets directly affect access to medical care and indirectly affect health by influencing health behavior and psychological condition."
