“…There is sufficient empirical evidence demonstrating the pairwise association between the three primary issues, namely, environmental pollution and healthcare spending, environmental pollution and economic growth, and healthcare spending and economic expansion. Limited studies have focused on the casualty between environmental pollution and healthcare spending; also, they have investigated the issue utilizing panel data based on a regional context through employing the time series technique [23,24]. Particularly, healthcare spending has direct or indirect impact on environmental pollution depending on the policy of government [23].…”

This paper analyzes the co-movement and causal linkages between environmental pollution and healthcare expenditure, taking economic growth as a control variable by using wavelet analysis for Taiwan over the period 1995 Q1–2016 Q4. The results show that there exists co-movement and causality between environmental pollution and healthcare expenditure at different frequencies and times. The changes in the relationships of the two variables are observed in certain events such as the period of the expansion stage, the policy of environmental pollution, and the issue of the National Health Insurance Integrated Circuit card (NHI-IC) in Taiwan. In the short-term, positive causality runs from healthcare expenditure to environmental pollution before 2004, while negative causality runs from healthcare expenditure to environmental pollution before 2007 in the long-term. After adding economic growth as a control variable, positive causality runs from healthcare expenditure to environmental pollution in the period 2009–2011 in the short-term, while negative causality running from healthcare expenditure to environmental pollution is shown in 2008 in the long-term. The results indicate that “higher government health expenditure leading to higher demand for environment quality” exists in different sub-periods and the argument may concern the factor of economics in the long-term. The positive healthcare lead in the short-term may be based on economics in the expansion stage. Also, the issue of NHI-IC possibly affects the dynamic relationship between healthcare expenditure and environmental pollution without considering economics. Based on empirical analysis, certain policy and managerial implications are addressed for decision-makers at macroeconomic and microeconomic levels.

“…Grzywacz, (2000) in the results of his research, shows that weak socioeconomic status can reduce health-related behavior. Chaabouni et al (2016) The importance of forming synergies between the government and the community is the basis that the priority of improving the quality of human resources must prioritize. The Indonesian government currently believes that if there is still an infrastructure imbalance, there will be social injustice.…”

Indonesian Life Expectancy: Role of Health Infrastructure and Socio-Economic Status

The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of health infrastructure and public socio-economic status on life expectancy in Indonesia. Health infrastructure indicators are health personnel, health facilities, and health insurance. Meanwhile, socio-economics indicators are dependency ratio, income inequality, and poverty. The models are estimated using a panel data set for 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2010 to 2016. This research is using a fixed-effect panel data approach. Empirical results show that health personnel and health insurance have a positive relationship with life expectancy. Dependency ratios and poverty also show a negative relationship with life expectancy. On the other hand, the availability of health facilities and income inequality have a weak relationship with life expectancy. This empirical examination result will help Indonesian governments to improve several aspects in order to increase life expectancy in Indonesia. AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis peran infrastruktur kesehatan dan status sosial ekonomi masyarakat terhadap angka harapan hidup di Indonesia. Indikator infrastruktur kesehatan diantaranya tenaga kesehatan, fasilitas kesehatan, dan jaminan kesehatan. sedangkan indikator dari sosial ekonomi adalah beban ketergantungan, ketimpangan pendapatan, dan kemisinan. Model diesimasi menggunakan panel data dari 34 provinsi di Indonesia periode tahun 2010 hingga 2016. Pendekatan fixed effect digunakan untuk tujuan penelitian ini. Hasil empiris menunjukkan tenaga kesehatan dan jaminan kesehatan memiliki hubungan positif dan signifikan dengan angka harapan hidup. Beban ketergantungan dan kemiskinan juga memiliki hubungan negatif dan signifikan dengan angka harapan hidup. Pada sisi yang lain ketersediaan fasilitas kesehatan dan ketimpangan pendapatan memiliki hubungan yang lemah denganngka harapan hidup. Hasil empiris ini akan membantu pemerintah Indonsia untuk meningkatkan beberapa aspek dalam rangka untuk meningkatkan angka harapan hidup di Indonesia.Kata Kunci: pembangunan manusia, angka harapan hidup, infrastruktur kesehatan, sosial-ekonomi JEL Code: O15, O18 conclude that there is bi-directional causality between CO2 emissions and economic growth, between health expenditure and economic growth.Likelihood tests and Hausman tests are performed to determine the best approach Signifikan:between Common Effects, Fixed Effects, and Random Effects. The last step is the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) and the t-statistic test to determine the correlation value between variables in this study.

“…Using a dynamic panel model to analyse the relationship between HEX and economic growth in low‐ and high‐income countries, Halící‐Tülüce et al found that there was a bidirectional causal relationship between HEX and economic growth in all countries. Studies by Chaabouni et al and Chaabouni and Saidi, which analysed the causal relationship between HEX s and GDP growth in 51 countries (including low‐income, middle‐income and high‐income countries) between 1995 and 2013, found that there was a bidirectional causal relationship between national HEX s and economic growth.…”

In the context of todays ageing population, this paper uses the connectedness network model proposed by Diebold and Yilmaz in 2014 to analyse the directionality and degree of interaction between the population ageing index, life expectancy, per capita gross domestic product, and per capita health expenditure from a systematic perspective for China; then, these results from China are compared with the United States. A number of new findings can be identified, as follows: (1) for China and the United States, economic growth may promote the growth of health expenditure and increased life expectancy may cause an increase in the ageing population; (2) China's population age structure has already led to some constraints on economic growth, whereas the United StatesUS's population age structure has had a weak impact on its economic growth; and (3) the ageing population structure for China has a net impact on per capita health expenditure, whereas no such net directional impact was found in the United States. These findings support the idea that policy synergies should be strengthened in the economic, social, and health fields in order to promote both the quality of life of the ageing population and the sustainable development of the economy.
