Environmental Pollution, Healthy Human Capital and High-Quality Economic Development

Abstract

This paper discusses the relationship between environmental pollution and high-quality economic development, the relationship between environmental pollution and healthy human capital, and the relationship between healthy human capital and high-quality economic development, these three aspects. In descriptive statistics to better reveal the relationship between the level of environmental pollution and the economic growth rate, the level of environmental pollution, the relationship between healthy human capital and economic growth measured by mortality rate as an indicator, scatter plots and linear fitting graphs are drawn to simulate the interrelationships between the level of environmental pollution and the economic growth rate, the level of environmental pollution and the mortality rate, and the mortality rate and the economic growth rate of the country’s twenty-nine provinces. Finally, the results were obtained through a dynamic panel GMM model, controlling the variables, so as to derive the relevant impacts of environmental pollution, health and economic growth. It is found that there is a significant positive impact effect of environmental quality and healthy human capital on economic growth, where healthy human capital (0.385) has a more significant positive contribution to economic growth than environmental quality (0.131). Avoiding endogeneity problems caused by sample indicator data.
