Abstract

Sağlığı etkileyen
ve kötüleşen bir çevre ekonomik faaliyetler üzerinde olumsuz bir etkiye yol
açabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada çevre kirliliğinin ve ekonomik büyümenin sağlık
harcamaları üzerindeki etkisi ASEAN-5 ülkeleri için 2000-2014 dönemi ele
alınarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmada Pedroni, Kao ve panel FMOLS eş-bütünleşme
testleri uygulanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda sağlık harcamaları, çevre kirliliği
ve ekonomik büyüme arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna
ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmada çevre kirliliği ve ekonomik büyümenin sağlık
harcamalarını artırdığı bulgusuna da ulaşılmıştır.

Health Expenditures and Environmental Pollution: A Panel Data Analysis on ASEAN-5 Countries

Abstract

An
environment that affects and deteriorates health can have a negative impact on
economic activities. In this study, the effect of environmental pollution and
economic growth on health expenditures is investigated by examining the period
2000-2014 for ASEAN-5 countries. In this study, Pedroni, Kao and panel FMOLS
co-integration tests were applied. According to the results of the study, there
is a long-term relationship between health expenditures, environmental
pollution and economic growth. In addition, it was found that environmental
pollution and economic growth increased health expenditures.
