The impacts of aging, income and urbanization on health expenditures: A panel regression analysis for OECD countries
Öz: Objectives: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting health expenditurelevels through a panel data analysis. Methods: The study includes data from 35 OECD membercountries between 2005 and 2015. We carried out panel regression analysis using STATA 13.0econometric program. In the study, we used per capita health expenditure figures according topurchasing power parity as the dependent variable and we searched the impact of aging, urbanizationand income on health expenditures with fixed effects panel regression model. Findings: Theregression model indicates that aging, urbanization and income have positive effects on healthexpenditures per capita. For instance, a 1% increase in population ages 65+ causes an increase inhealth expenditures by $165 per capita. Conclusion: Although health expenditures are influenced bymany factors, demographic structures and demographic changes, such as aging, urbanization andincome, have a significant impact on health expenditures.
Anahtar Kelime: Yaşlanma, gelir ve kentleşmenin sağlık harcamaları üzerindeki etkisi: OECD ülkeleri için bir panel regresyon analizi
Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık harcamalarına etki eden faktörleri panel veri analizi ile incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışma, 2005 ve 2015 yılları arasında 35 OECD ülkesinden elde edilen verileri içermektedir. Panel Regresyon analizi STATA bilgisayar programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmada satın alma gücü paritesine göre hesaplanmış kişi başına düşen sağlık harcaması bağımlı değişken, yaşlanma, kentleşme ve gelir bağımsız değişken olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu değişkenlerin sağlık harcamaları üzerindeki etkisi sabit etkiler panel regresyon modeli ile incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Regresyon modeli yaşlanma, kentleşme ve gelirin kişi başına düşen sağlık harcamaları üzerinde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Örneğin, 65 yaş üstü nüfusun %1'lik artışı sağlık harcamalarında kişi başına 165 dolarlık artışa neden olmaktadır. Sonuç: Sağlık harcamaları birçok faktörden etkilenmekle birlikte, yaşlanma, kentleşme ve gelir gibi ülkelerin demografik yapısı ve demografik değişimleri sağlık harcamalarının artmasında önemli rol oynamaktadır
