Sažetak
This paper uses the 2005–2012 spatial panel data of China’s 11
Contiguous Destitute Areas (CDAs) and different kinds of econometric
regression models, we examines the implications of medical
condition and population density for the residents’ savings in
these 11 CDAs. We find that, the increase in population density
not only would reduce residents’ savings through its own, but
also has negative effect on residents’ savings through the way of
medical condition, while medical condition has positively and significantly
effect on the residents’ savings. This means that as a
CDAs’ population density increases, the needs of medical condition
will increase too, and then it will cause the medical condition
to be deteriorating relatively, thereby reducing households’ precautionary
savings. In most of the models, especially in the direct
effects, indirect effects, and total effects, these results are roughly
the same and robust. These findings mean that medical condition
and population density not only have influence on residents’ savings
on their own, but also will decrease the residents’ savings by
their interaction
