چکیده مقاله :

در این مطالعه رابطه علّی بین مخارج بهداشتی سرانه و تولید ناخالص داخلی سرانه برای کشورهای با درآمد پایین و متوسط طی دوره 2003-2007 مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. بدین منظور از آزمون علیت گرنجر هشیائو(1981) و آزمون علیت تودا و یاماموتو(1995) استفاده شده است. نتایج به دست آمده حاکی از این امر است که در کشورهای با درآمد پایین و متوسط (در حال توسعه) که ایران هم جزو آنهاست، تنها از طرف درآمد سرانه به مخارج بهداشتی سرانه، علیت وجود دارد.با توجه به وجود رابطه علّی یک طرفه از سوی درآمد سرانه به مخارج بهداشتی سرانه در گروه کشورهای با درآمد سرانه متوسط و پایین، در این از گروه کشورها افزایش درآمد سرانه می‌تواند از طریق افزایش مخارج مصرفی منجر به افزایش مخارج بهداشتی سرانه شود.

چکیده انگلیسی:

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between per capita health expenditure and per capita GDP for lower and middle income countries during 2003-2007. For this purpose, we used the Hsiao's-Granger and Toda & Yamamoto(TY) causality tests for investigating short-run relation between two variables. The results of the model estimation reveal that there is a unilateral causality from the GDP per capita to per capita health expenditure. Due to the results of this paper, the main implication policy of this study is that the policymakers and economic planners should adopt the suitable policies to improve economic growth and GDP per capita. Because, the increase of GDP per capita can be enhance the consumption expenditures and especially, health expenditures per capita.
