摘　　要：如何解决能源消费所带来的环境污染对公众健康的负面影响,是实现健康中国目标的重要挑战,而清洁能源发展则为此提供了一个可行的治理路径。本文以西气东输二线工程的投产运营作为准自然实验,利用2006~2015年的中国健康与营养调查(CHNS)数据,实证考察了清洁能源发展如何影响公众健康。研究发现,西气东输工程产生了健康效应,在通过多种稳健性检验后,仍能显著提升沿线地区的公众健康水平。但这一效应主要体现在城市居民和老年人群体,且家庭用能结构改善、企业污染减排、城市环境质量提升是主要作用渠道。进一步分析表明,“煤改气”政策有助于增强工程的健康效应。福利分析显示,该工程降低了个人及地区医疗支出,并促进了当地就业。本文的发现对如何深化能源供给侧结构性改革,助力实施健康中国战略,提供了鲜明的政策启示。Energy green low-carbon development weighs on the future of mankind.Traditional fossil energy and consumption of pollution emissions have serious consequences on public health.Therefore,accelerating the development of green low-carbon as the basic characteristics of clean energy is the world's key approach to realizing energy transition and reducing environmental pollution.The green transformation of major initiatives is not only important for promoting China's production and lifestyle but also for protecting the country's energy security.The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized the need to accelerate the planning and construction of a new type of energy system and in-depth promotion of the energy revolution,as well as clean,low-carbon,and efficient use of energy.These are important discussions for the new era of China's promotion of clean energy high-quality development direction.This article takes the commissioning and operation of the Second West-east Gas Pipeline Project as a quasi-natural experiment and utilizes data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey(CHNS)from 2009 to 2015.It constructs a double-difference model to examine how clean energy development affects public health.The study reveals that the West-east Gas Pipeline Project has yielded health benefits,and after various robustness tests,it still significantly enhances the health levels of communities along the pipeline route.However,this effect is primarily manifested among urban residents and the elderly,with improvements in household energy consumption patterns,reductions in industrial emissions,and enhancements in urban environmental quality serving as the main channels of influence.Further welfare analysis indicates that the project reduces individual medical expenses and promotes local employment.Lastly,the“coal-to-gas”policy contributes to strengthening the project's effectiveness.The findings of this article offer distinct policy implications for advancing structural reforms in energy supply
