The Relationship Between Economic Growth, Health Expenditure and Environmental Pollution: The Case of G8 Countries

Abstract

Health plays a role in determining the quality of human capital. There is a close relationship between the development levels of societies and health indicators. Environmental pollution has many effects on human health. Within the framework of sustainable development goals of countries, health, economic growth and environmental issues have become increasingly important. G8 countries play an important role in the world economy. Since G8 countries are among the developed economies, health expenditures allow them to play a leading role compared to other countries. In this study, the relationship between health expenditures, environmental pollution and economic growth between 2000 and 2020 was examined for G8 countries (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, England, America, Canada, Russia). Panel data analysis was applied to determine this relationship. In determining the relationship between variables, the results of causality analysis show that there is a mutual causality relationship between health expenditure and economic growth and between health expenditure and environmental pollution.
