报告摘要：
We empirically examine the effect of air pollution on medical expenditure using Korean monthly station-level air pollutant data and the public health insurance claim records. The endogenous domestic air pollution effect on health demand is identified and estimated using Chinese monthly air pollutant data as instrumental variables. From the main result, we find that nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter smaller than 10m (PM10) effect positively on both medical expenditure and number of hospital visits. For respiratory related diseases, carbon monoxide (CO) has a positive effect on medical expenditure and ozone (O3) has a positive effect on hospital visit. The estimated coefficients imply that NO2 and PM10 increase hospital visit by 1.35% and 0.36% respectively, and the medical expenditure is increased by 0.27% and 0.07% respectively. For the respiratory related diseases, CO increase medical expenditure by 1.19%, and O3 increase hospital visit by 0.93%.
