“…Mirovic et al (2023) conducted a study for the Serbian economy using the ARDL model and found that population growth substantially affects government spending. Ecevit et al (2023) revealed that population ageing increasingly impacts public health spending in developing economies. Likewise, Sahoo et al (2023) submitted that the ageing population is responsible for rising public health outlay in BRICS countries.…”

The objective of this study centred on assessing the impact of sustainability in public outlay determination for 26 African countries. For robustness of analyses, the mean group (MG), feasible generalised least squares (FGLS), generalised linear mixed effects model (GLMM), and the novel method of moments quantile regression (MMQREG) techniques were employed on a dataset sourced between 1990 and 2022. Sustainability indicators were decomposed into economic, social, and environmental components. For the economic indicators, while inflation and revenue had adverse effects, the exchange rate accelerated government spending. The social measures demonstrated that urbanisation diminished public expenditure aside from the increasing impacts of human development and population growth. Similarly, the environmental indicators expressed that demand and supply of ecological resources adversely impacted public outlay in contrast to the enhancing effect of food production. Aggregating these effects suggests that, while the economic and environmental factors are mostly diminishing in impact, the social elements are more accelerating on real government spending. Nevertheless, the magnitude of these impacts varies with the existing size of government expenditure in African economies. Consequently, an encompassing rather than a selective preference for sustainability elements matters in government spending determination. JEL Classification: E62, O55, Q01.

“…Some studies also focus on environmental role of fossil fuels (Kartal, Pata, Depren, & Depren, 2023), income inequality (Ozturk et al, 2022), environmental taxes (Sharif et al, 2023), urbanization (Magazzino, Mele, Morelli, & Schneider, 2021), electricity consumption (Matar et al, 2023), natural resources (Demir et al, 2023), globalization (Pata, Erdogan, & Ozkan, 2023), governance (Magazzino, Adedoyin, et al, 2023), foreign direct investment (Seker et al, 2015), renewable energy (Magazzino et al, 2022), trade openness (Ertugrul et al, 2016), geopolitical risk (Pata, Kartal, & Zafar, 2023), and digital economy (Wang, Sun, et al, 2023). There are also studies investigating the effects of environmental pollutants such as carbon emissions on health expenditures (see, e.g., Ecevit et al, 2023). However, a few studies have focused on Germany with time series analyzes, examining the EKC hypothesis (Egli, 2002, 2004; Zambrano‐Monserrate & Fernandez, 2017).…”

Germany has set an ambitious goal of meeting the recommendations of COP‐26 and reducing its carbon intensity to zero by 2045. Germany is a leader in environmental patents after the United States, Japan, and South Korea, and the environmental implications of Germany's leadership in eco‐innovation hold important clues for achieving net zero goals. In particular, the European Union is one of the global communities making the greatest efforts to combat emissions, and the success of the leading role of environmental patents in this Union in reducing CO2 emissions is an important research topic for scholars. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of environmental patents on CO2 emissions under the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in Germany. To this end, the study applies Bayer–Hanck and Fourier ADL approaches from 1970 to 2019. The main findings do not confirm the EKC hypothesis, while environmental patents play an active role in CO2 reduction. Based on these outcomes, Germany should consider a long‐term green policy to decouple economic growth and emissions. At the same time, German policy should promote the development and application of environmental patents to achieve the net zero targets for 2045.

“…A significant result of this arrangement is a lack of understanding of equitable resource allocation/equal access to coverage [64,65], resource implications of allocation and consumption decisions, and a failure to use explicit efficiency criteria in making such decisions [66]. Evidence of wasteful healthcare consumption and expense has been observed under publicly sponsored health coverage schemes [16]. Another limitation associated with government finance is excessive fragmentation of financing-within the health sector, between sectors, and across levels of government-which is a barrier to the effective delivery of timely healthcare to people.…”

“…A lack of a financing strategy has frequently resulted in the wastage of scarce resources. Attempts have been made to reduce wasteful spending on overconsumption of care [16]. Health financing and related economic risk have emerged as critical concerns and strategies in discussions about SDG 3.8, which is achieving universal health coverage (UHC).…”

Dynamics of Health Financing among the BRICS: A Literature Review

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite economic progress, government efforts, and increased healthcare investments, health deprivation continues to persist in the countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS). Hence, addressing the growing demand for health financing in a sustainable way and adopting unique approaches to healthcare provision is essential. This paper aims to review publications on the existing health financing systems in the BRICS countries, analyze the core challenges associated with health financing, and explore potential solutions for establishing a sustainable health financing system. This paper adhered to the PRISMA guidelines when conducting the keyword search and determining the criteria for article inclusion and exclusion. Relevant records were obtained from PubMed Central using nine keyword combinations. Bibliometrics analysis was carried out using R software (version 4.1.3), followed by a comprehensive manual narrative review of the records. BRICS countries experienced increased health expenditure due to aging populations, noncommunicable diseases, and medical advancements. The majority of this increased spending has come from out-of-pocket payments, which often lead to impoverishment. Due to limited fiscal capabilities, administrative difficulties, and inefficiency, providing comprehensive healthcare through public funding alone has become exceedingly difficult for these countries. Public-private partnerships are essential for achieving sustainable health financing and addressing challenges in healthcare provision.
