Life expectancy provides insights into population health and the socio-economic development level of a country. However, there has been a significant gap in life expectancy between developed and underdeveloped countries, although these countries and international institutions have focused on reducing these inequalities. This article explores the long-term effects of social, educational, and health expenditures together with GDP on indicators of life expectancy in the OECD states over the period of 2005-2021 through second-generation cointegration analysis. The results of the cointegration analysis demonstrate that public social and educational expenditures, health expenditures, and real GDP have a positive effect on indicators of life expectancy in the OECD states over the long term, but the effect of real GDP and health expenditures on indicators of life expectancy is relatively higher than effect of public social and educational expenditures on indicators of life expectancy. In conclusion, the effective use of governmental resources in terms of social, educational, and health expenditures can be beneficial in improving population health directly and indirectly through economic growth and development.
预期寿命能反映一个国家的人口健康状况和社会经济发展水平。然而，尽管发达国家和发展中国家以及国际机构都致力于减少这些不平等现象，但发达国家和不发达国家之间的预期寿命仍存在显著差距。本文通过第二代协整分析，探讨了2005年至2021年期间社会、教育和卫生支出以及国内生产总值（GDP）对经合组织国家预期寿命指标的长期影响。协整分析结果表明，从长期来看，公共社会和教育支出、卫生支出以及实际GDP对经合组织国家的预期寿命指标具有积极影响，但实际GDP和卫生支出对预期寿命指标的影响相对高于公共社会和教育支出对预期寿命指标的影响。总之，在社会、教育和卫生支出方面有效利用政府资源，通过经济增长和发展，可以直接和间接地有利于改善人口健康状况。
