摘要：In this paper we investigate the joint conditional distribution of
health (life expectancy) and income growth and its evolution over
time. The conditional distributions of these two variables are obtained
by applying nonparametric methods to a bivariate nonparametric regression
system of equations. Analyzing the distributions of the nonparametric
fitted values from these models we find strong evidence
of movement over time and strong evidence of first-order stochastic
dominance of the earlier years over the later ones. We also find strong
evidence of second-order stochastic dominance by non-OECD countries
over OECD countries in each period. Our results complement
the findings of Wu, Savvides and Stengos (2008) who explored the
unconditional behaviour of these joint distributions over time.
