Abstract

In this study, it is tried to investigate the relationship between health expenditures, relative price of health expenditures and economic growth by using cointegration analysis and vector error correction model. The data set covers the period from January, 2004 to March, 2013. The empirical results of the study show that there is a significant relationship among health expenditures, relative price of central government budget health expenditures and economic growth in the long run, while there is no relationship in the short run.

Türkiye’de Sağlık Harcamaları, Sağlık Harcamalarının Nisbi Fiyatı ve Ekonomik Büyüme Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de sağlık harcamaları, sağlık harcamalarının nispi fiyatı ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki eşbütünleşme analizi ve vektör hata düzeltme modeli ile araştırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Veri seti Ocak 2004-Mart 2013 periyodunu kapsamaktadır. Çalışmanın ampirik bulgularına göre, uzun dönemde sağlık harcamaları, bu harcamaların nispi fiyatı ve ekonomik büyüme değişkenleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktayken, kısa dönemde anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir.
