摘　　要：健康与教育是人力资本诸多形成方式中最重要的两种,长期以来内生增长理论强调和重视教育人力资本对于经济增长的贡献和作用,但健康与教育之间的相互影响以及健康人力资本对于经济增长的作用却未得到应有的重视。基于此,本文在Lucas(1988),Van Zon和Muysken(2001)模型基础上,构建了一个包含最终产品、健康和教育的三部门模型。静态均衡、转移动态和仿真实验的结果表明:在总体人力资本的形成过程中,健康对广义人力资本的贡献份额大于教育;健康的增量而非健康人力资本存量水平有利于长期经济增长;健康的改善必须同时辅以教育人力资本的提高才能促进经济增长;政府公共健康支出对于健康人力资本的形成具有重要作用,有助于促进发展机会的均等和减贫;重视人力资本积累的经济体在10-15年后会呈现明显的经济绩效的改善。Health and education are the most important ways of forming human capital. However,for a long time the endogenous growth theory has stressed the importance of education, but the role of health on economic growth and the mutual influence between education and health have been ignored. Based on research of Lucas （1988）and Van Zon and Muysken （2001） , this paper conceives a three - sector model including final goods, health and education. Through analysis of static equilibrium, transitive dynamic and mimic experiment,the results show that health contributes a greater share of the overall human capital formation compared with education,and the increment of health,rather than the level of health, contributes to long term economic growth. At the same time, health improvement must be supported by the melioration of education at the meanwhile to promote economic growth. Public health investment plays a role on forming of health human capital, which helps to equalize the chance of development and facilitate poverty. What＇ s more, the economy attaching great importance to human capital accumulation will gain significant improvement in economic performance in ten to fifteen years.
