Notes: The sample included all respondents in CFPS 2012, 2014, and 2016 in Table 2. The dependent variable was respiratory diseases and circulatory system diseases; if the respondent had suffered from respiratory diseases or circulatory system diseases in the previous six months, then the variable was coded as a dummy variable, respiratory diseases or circulatory system diseases (=1). Treatment × Post is our variable of interest representing difference-in-difference estimates. Weather was controlled for. Administrative divisions and monthly fixed effects are included in the regressions. Clustered standard errors across survey respondents are presented in parentheses. **, and *** indicate significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% levels, respectively.
