abstract: 'The general objective of this work is to study the level of
|
||||
|
||||
socio-economic development of an economy as an explanatory factor for
|
||||
|
||||
public health expenditure. To do so, this general objective will be
|
||||
|
||||
broken down into three specific ones: firstly, the Spanish position in
|
||||
|
||||
terms of health expenditure in the countries of the Economic and
|
||||
|
||||
Monetary Union as a whole will be studied; secondly, the relationship
|
||||
|
||||
between public health expenditure per capita and GDP per capita will be
|
||||
|
||||
analysed; and thirdly, the level of convergence experienced by public
|
||||
|
||||
health expenditure at a regional level in the Spanish economy will be
|
||||
|
||||
studied.
|
||||
|
||||
This analysis allows us to observe whether territorial public spending
|
||||
|
||||
has evolved in a similar way in all Spanish regions, placing the
|
||||
|
||||
country''s inhabitants in the same situation in this respect, or if, on
|
||||
|
||||
the contrary, the evolution of health spending has been more unequal in
|
||||
|
||||
the period analysed. This would show whether disparities in health
|
||||
|
||||
expenditure are occurring between people living in the same country,
|
||||
|
||||
according to the region in which they reside, establishing a pattern
|
||||
|
||||
which allows us to distinguish whether health expenditure is and has
|
||||
|
||||
been greater in regions with a higher socio-economic level or the
|
||||
|
||||
opposite. In this way, it will be possible to define the level of
|
||||
|
||||
socio-economic development (measured by the GDP per capita) as a
|
||||
|
||||
determining factor of health expenditure per capita in all the Spanish
|
||||
|
||||
regions in the period analysed (in principle 2000-2018), since it covers
|
||||
|
||||
the last two decades and there is sufficient data to carry out a serious
|
||||
|
||||
and rigorous study.
|
||||
|
||||
The availability of databases on health expenditure implies that several
|
||||
|
||||
statistical sources can be used. The aim of this research was to have a
|
||||
|
||||
variety of statistical sources to enable a sufficiently long period of
|
||||
|
||||
time to be covered for the study to be focused on structural issues, and
|
||||
|
||||
not just on purely conjunctural aspects. This undoubtedly favours the
|
||||
|
||||
achievement of more rigorous and timely reflections in studies of this
|
||||
|
||||
type.
|
||||
|
||||
The statistical sources used in this paper are as follows: Satellite
|
||||
|
||||
Accounts on Public Health Expenditure (Ministry of Health, Consumption
|
||||
|
||||
and Social Welfare of the Government of Spain); Satellite Accounts on
|
||||
|
||||
Public Health Expenditure (Spanish Regional Accounts of the National
|
||||
|
||||
Statistics Institute); Data on Health, Dependency and Pensions
|
||||
|
||||
(Foundation for Applied Economic Studies); Public Health Expenditure
|
||||
|
||||
(Valencian Institute of Economic Research); General State Budgets
|
||||
|
||||
General Intervention of the State Administration (Ministry of Finance of
|
||||
|
||||
the Government of Spain); and Health Accounts System (Ministry of
|
||||
|
||||
Health, Consumption and Social Welfare of the Government of Spain); and
|
||||
|
||||
Macroeconomic Data (Expansion Edition).
|
||||
|
||||
With regard to the methodology used to address the proposed objectives,
|
||||
|
||||
in addition to the description of the data presented, based on a
|
||||
|
||||
territorial approach, the evolution of these variables and the possible
|
||||
|
||||
relationship between them will be analysed, based on the correlation
|
||||
|
||||
between them. Furthermore, an attempt has been made to establish the
|
||||
|
||||
link between territorial economic development and the level of regional
|
||||
|
||||
health expenditure by means of an econometric estimate. Similarly,
|
||||
|
||||
another attempt will be made to measure the evolution of existing
|
||||
|
||||
territorial disparities on the basis of indicators such as sigma
|
||||
|
||||
convergence, beta convergence, the Theil index, and other indices that
|
||||
|
||||
will make it possible to examine whether regional differences have been
|
||||
|
||||
reduced or, on the contrary, intensified in the period analysed.
|
||||
|
||||
An analysis of the evolution of public health expenditure per inhabitant
|
||||
|
||||
and its link with the level of socio-economic development of the Spanish
|
||||
|
||||
regions shows that the levels of public health expenditure per capita
|
||||
|
||||
and socio-economic development are closely linked in these regions. The
|
||||
|
||||
conclusions drawn from the study are presented below.
|
||||
|
||||
Public health expenditure is an aspect that has a relevant influence on
|
||||
|
||||
the whole population, so it guarantees equal opportunities and its
|
||||
|
||||
distribution undoubtedly allows for social and territorial cohesion. In
|
||||
|
||||
general, the public administrations of the countries with the highest
|
||||
|
||||
level of income in the Economic and Monetary Union tend to make a
|
||||
|
||||
greater effort to invest in public health, which may reflect the fact
|
||||
|
||||
that health expenditure is closely linked to the level of economic
|
||||
|
||||
development of the countries. Public health expenditure in Spain has
|
||||
|
||||
accounted for around 70\% of total public expenditure over the period
|
||||
|
||||
analysed, and is, therefore, an element that can be used by territorial
|
||||
|
||||
public administrations to try to stimulate the equalisation of
|
||||
|
||||
opportunities for the population in each of the Autonomous Communities,
|
||||
|
||||
as well as to promote the socio-economic cohesion of the Spanish
|
||||
|
||||
regions. The distribution of public health expenditure among the Spanish
|
||||
|
||||
geographical areas has been closely related to the territorial
|
||||
|
||||
distribution of the population in the period analysed, but there are
|
||||
|
||||
still strong regional differences in public health expenditure per
|
||||
|
||||
inhabitant, which makes it somewhat difficult to achieve socio-economic
|
||||
|
||||
equality among the Spanish Autonomous Communities.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, the growth of public health expenditure has been more
|
||||
|
||||
positive than that of the Gross Domestic Product in the Spanish economy
|
||||
|
||||
in the period studied, which has meant that public health expenditure
|
||||
|
||||
per GDP has advanced positively not only at a national level, but also
|
||||
|
||||
in all Spanish regions. However, it is necessary to point out that the
|
||||
|
||||
intensity of growth at a regional level has not been equitable, but
|
||||
|
||||
rather has been very uneven.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also noted that the level of economic development is a determining
|
||||
|
||||
factor in public health expenditure per capita. Logically, this has a
|
||||
|
||||
fundamental impact on the process of territorial cohesion and equal
|
||||
|
||||
opportunities that the Spanish economy is seeking. Regional disparities
|
||||
|
||||
in public health expenditure per inhabitant have increased in the period
|
||||
|
||||
1995-2017 in the Spanish economy, as shown by the sigma convergence
|
||||
|
||||
indicator, the Theil index and the applied inequality index. The
|
||||
|
||||
breakdown of the Theil index shows how the increase in territorial
|
||||
|
||||
differences in public health expenditure has been due to an increase of
|
||||
|
||||
almost 30\% in the regional investment effort in public health
|
||||
|
||||
expenditure per GDP and almost 70\% in the level of economic development
|
||||
|
||||
of the Spanish regions. Moreover, according to the indicator of
|
||||
|
||||
contribution to inequality, the regions with the highest share of
|
||||
|
||||
inequality are Andalusia, the Basque Country and Madrid.
|
||||
|
||||
The study shows that it would be desirable to reduce the range of
|
||||
|
||||
dispersion between regions in the level of public health expenditure per
|
||||
|
||||
inhabitant. Moreover, it is essential to identify the determinants of
|
||||
|
||||
these interregional differences since they are a real obstacle to
|
||||
|
||||
guarantee equal opportunities in the access to this type of services and
|
||||
|
||||
to achieve higher levels of welfare in the population. Furthermore, it
|
||||
|
||||
is crucial to establish a system that adequately protects the public
|
||||
|
||||
health services provided by the territorial administrations in the face
|
||||
|
||||
of the economic crisis and the fall in public revenue experienced in
|
||||
|
||||
Spain over the last decade.
|
||||
|
||||
Four key issues for the future are considered necessary: a) the
|
||||
|
||||
sustainability of public health expenditure requires medium and
|
||||
|
||||
long-term financial planning that is prudent and complemented by
|
||||
|
||||
predictable funds provided in years of economic prosperity; b) the high
|
||||
|
||||
territorial disparities in public health expenditure need to be
|
||||
|
||||
carefully monitored and reviewed as they call into question equal
|
||||
|
||||
opportunities policies; c) institutional loyalty must be adequately
|
||||
|
||||
promoted so that territorial public administrations share the priority
|
||||
|
||||
of these policies and can provide them with the corresponding funds; in
|
||||
|
||||
this sense, a serious and rigorous debate on the level of sustainable
|
||||
|
||||
public health expenditure must be addressed as soon as possible, taking
|
||||
|
||||
into account the restrictions established by the high public deficit and
|
||||
|
||||
the high public debt of the Spanish economy; and d) the regional
|
||||
|
||||
financing systems must be adapted to the constitutional commitments to
|
||||
|
||||
inter-territorial equity.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, it is suggested to maintain the economic growth that allows
|
||||
|
||||
contracting the economic disparities of the Spanish regions, in order to
|
||||
|
||||
reduce the current differences in the public health expenditure per
|
||||
|
||||
inhabitant.'
