Are the great differences in the increase of average life expectancy between Chinese provinces related to the government's health expenditures? As we can see from the cross-sectional data of 30 provinces visualized in the figure above, there is no relationship between per capita health expenditure of the government in a particular province in 2001 and the increase of average life expectancy between 1990 and 2001. |
