| Résumé : | Previous studies of international differences in health spending have been restricted to the use of relatively small samples of cross sectional data. Our objective here is to re-examine the results of previous work using a sample of 560 pooled time-series and cross-section observations. Results confirm the importance of Gross Domestic Product as a determinant of health spending, with an estimated income elasticity at or around unity, but also suggest that the OECD countries should not be regarded as a single, homogeneous group. The importance of some non-income variables is also confirmed, although the direct effect of these factors appears to be small. (R.A.) |
