随着高速铁路的快速发展,众多学者研究和刻画了高铁对企业、产业和区域经济的影响效应,然而关注高速铁路对居民个体影响的研究较少。文章基于中国健康与养老追踪调查的数据,从疾病、身体功能与精神健康三个维度构建居民健康综合指数,创新性地融合双重差分和社会网络分析方法,考察了高铁开通和高铁网络对居民健康的影响,并利用中介效应模型分析其影响路径。研究发现:首先,高铁开通能够显著提升居民的健康水平。随着城市在高铁网络中的网络联系广度和网络中心性不断提升,高速铁路对居民健康的促进效应将不断增强。其次,通过机制分析表明高铁开通能够产生异地就医效应、健康投入效应、资源配置效应和健康保障效应,并且通过缩减城市间的通达时间、提升医疗资源可及性、加快医疗资源的流动与集聚以及促进区域经济发展等方式提升沿线居民的健康水平。最后,进一步研究发现高铁开通对居民健康的影响在不同人群与区域中存在差异。文章结论对提高高铁的社会经济福利和促进公共健康水平提升具有重要政策意义。
