Bu
çalışmanın amacı, 36 OECD ülkesinin 2000-2017 dönemine ilişkin verilerini kullanarak
panel koentegrasyon testleri yardımı ile sağlık harcamaları ve iktisadi büyüme
arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, yatay kesit
bağımlılığını göz ardı eden Pedroni ve Westerlund testleri, sağlık harcamaları
ile büyüme arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişkinin mevcut olduğunu göstermektedir.  Ancak yatay kesit bağımlılığı göz önüne
alınarak elde edilen sonuçlar, sağlık harcamaları ve büyüme arasında uzun
dönemli bir koentegrasyon ilişkisinin mevcut olduğuna ilişkin sonuçları desteklememektedir.
Sonuç olarak uzun dönemde sağlık harcamalarının, büyümenin bir belirleyicisi
olmadığına ilişkin bulgulara ulaşılmıştır.
