Abstract

This paper investigates the long-run relationship between health care expenditures (HCE) and income using Canadian provincial data spanning a period of 40 years from 1981 to 2020. We study the non-stationary and cointegration properties of HCE and income and estimate the long-run income elasticities of HCE. Using heterogeneous panel models that incorporate cross-section dependence via unobserved common correlated factors to capture global shocks, we estimate long-run income elasticities that lie in the 0.11-0.16 range. Our results indicate that health care is a necessity good for Canada. These elasticity estimates are much smaller than those estimated in other studies for Canada. We find that HCE and income in Canada are cointegrated and that short-run changes in federal transfers significantly and positively affect HCE.

摘要

本文利用加拿大 40 年来(1981 年至 2020 年)的省级数据,研究了医疗保健支出(HCE)与收入之间的长期关系。我们研究了 HCE 和收入的非平稳性和协整性质,并估计了 HCE 的长期收入弹性。我们使用异质面板模型,通过未观测到的共同相关因素纳入横截面相关性,以捕捉全球冲击,估计出的长期收入弹性在 0.11-0.16 之间。研究结果表明,医疗保健对加拿大来说是一种必需品。这些弹性估计值远小于其他针对加拿大的研究中的估计值。我们发现加拿大的 HCE 和收入是协整的,联邦转移的短期变化对 HCE 有显著的积极影响。
