Causality Between Health Expenditure, Health Status and Economic Growth: An Empirical Investigation in India

AUTHOR

Dr. AVINASH KAUR¹

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the causal effects of health expenditure and health status on economic growth of India for the period from 1981-82 to 2015-16. The results are carried out by using Vector Autoregressive (VAR) Model, impulse response functions and forecast error decomposition. The results revealed that government health expenditure has negative and insignificanteffect on economic growth in India during the study period. However, the result of Infant Mortality Rate was found to be mixed. The coefficient of one year lagged value of Infant Mortality Rate is positive and significant in determining the changes in economic growth; whereas the coefficient of two year lagged value of Infant Mortality Rate is negative and insignificant at the 1 percent level. The results of impulse response function and variance decomposition revealed that government health expenditure has minimal effects on economic growth of India, while infant mortality rate predominantly effects variations in economic growth. Thus, it is need of the hour that sufficient expenditure on health care expenditure should be maintained and to ensure sustained economic growth.

Keywords: Health Expenditure, Economic Growth, VAR, Infant Mortality Rate, India.
