The aim of this paper was to empirically analyze the relationship between public health expenditure and health outcomes among EU developing countries. Using regression analysis and factor analysis, we documented that public health expenditure and health outcomes are in a long-run equilibrium relationship and the status of health expenditure can improve life expectancy and reduce infant mortality. Secondarily, we studied how the status of good governance, health care system performance, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities affect the public health's outcomes in the selected countries. We found that the effectiveness of health and the way to reduce infant mortality or to improve life quality is directed conditioned by good governance status. Moreover, the consolidation of health care system performance directly improves the quality of life among EU developing countries, which indicates that public policymakers should intervene and provide political and financial support through policy mixes.
本文旨在通过实证分析欧盟发展中国家公共卫生支出与健康结果之间的关系。我们采用回归分析和因子分析的方法,证明了公共卫生支出与健康结果之间存在长期均衡关系,卫生支出状况可以提高预期寿命和降低婴儿死亡率。其次,我们研究了善治状况、医疗体系绩效和社会经济脆弱性如何影响选定国家的公共卫生结果。研究发现,卫生有效性和降低婴儿死亡率或提高生活质量的方法受到善治状况的制约。此外,医疗体系绩效的巩固直接提高了欧盟发展中国家的生活质量,这表明公共政策制定者应该通过政策组合进行干预并提供政治和财政支持。
