Bireyin ve toplumun sağlık ihtiyaçlarının giderilmesi, korunması, geliştirilmesi ve devamlılığının sağlanması için yapılan tüm harcamalar sağlık harcamalarını oluşturmaktadır. Sağlık harcamaları, bireyin ve toplumun sağlık düzeyini ve bilincini yükseltirken, beşeri sermayeye olumlu yönde katkı sağlayarak ekonomik gelişmeyi hızlandırmaktadır. Özellikle iktisadi kalkınmada, beşeri sermayenin öneminin anlaşılması sağlık hizmetleri ve sağlık harcamalarına olan ilginin artmasına yol açmıştır. Bu kapsamda sağlık harcamalarının sürekli artış eğiliminde olması, sağlık harcamalarını etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi ve maliyet yaratan unsurların ortaya çıkarılması hem politika yapıcılar hem de araştırmacılar tarafından incelenen önemli konuların başında gelmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1995-2019 yılları arasında Türkiye ve veri varlığı durumuna göre seçilmiş 14 AB ülkesi için sağlık harcamalarının belirlenmesinde sosyo-ekonomik unsurların etkilerini araştırmaktır. Sosyal ve ekonomik değişkenler olarak iki farklı model kurulmuş olup ekonometrik tahminler dinamik panel veri yöntemleri ile araştırılmıştır. Analizler sonucu elde edilen bulgular, sosyal değişkenler üzerine kurulmuş modelde sağlık harcamalarının belirleyicilerini etkileyen en önemli unsurun doğuşta yaşam beklentisi olduğunu, ekonomik değişkenler üzerine kurulmuş modelde ise sağlık harcamalarının belirleyicilerini etkileyen en önemli unsurun kişi başı gelir ve enflasyon oranı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

All expenditures made to meet, protect, develop and maintain the health needs of the individual and society constitute health expenditures. While health expenditures increase the health level and consciousness of the individual and society, they contribute positively to human capital and accelerate economic development. Understanding the importance of human capital, especially in economic development, has led to an increased interest in health services and health expenditures. In this context, the constantly increasing trend of health expenditures, determining the factors affecting health expenditures and revealing the cost-creating factors are among the important issues examined by both policy makers and researchers. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of socio-economic factors on the determination of health expenditures for Turkey and 14 EU countries selected according to data availability between 1995-2019. Two different models were established as social and economic variables, and econometric forecasts were investigated with dynamic panel data methods. The findings obtained as a result of the analyzes reveal that the most important factor affecting the determinants of health expenditures in the model based on social variables is life expectancy at birth, while the most important factor affecting the determinants of health expenditures in the model based on economic variables is income per capita and inflation rate.
