Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the impact of the oil prices on health expenditures, while distinguishing publicfrom private healthcare services. To analyze the impact of oil prices, dynamic panel data analysis and Grangercausality tests in time and frequency domain analysis are carried out respectively for selected ten countriesin the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) for the period of 1995 – 2014. The main findings that modeledwith log difference of the used variables are as follows: oil prices have no impact on the public and privatehealth expenditures in the dynamic models. The exchange rate has positive impact on public health expenditures,while the inflation rate has negative and the GDP has positive impact on private health expenditures.

Özet

Bu çalışma kamu ve özel sağlık harcamaları ayrımı ile petrol fiyatlarının sağlık harcamaları üzerindeki etkisiniaraştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Dinamik panel veri analizleri ve Granger nedensellik ve frekans-alanı nedenselliktestleri 1995-2014 yılları arasında seçilmiş on Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika ülkesi için yapılmıştır. Kullanılandeğişkenlerin logaritmik birinci farklarıyla kurulan modeller ile elde edilen temel bulgular şunlardır: petrol fiyatlarıkamu ve özel sağlık harcamalarında bir etkide bulunmazken; döviz kuru oranı kamu sağlık harcamalarıüzerinde pozitif, GSYH ve enflasyon oranı da özel sağlık harcamaları üzerinde pozitif ve negatif etki göstermektedir.
