Health expenditure and the level and growth rate of GDP per capita in selected OECD countries

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the problem of the level and dynamics of economic growth in modern economics of the selected OECD countries, measured by the level and growth rate of GDP per capita. An important factor that accelerates the pace of GDP growth seems to be intensifying of health expenditure, which determines the quality of human capital in the economy. The objective of this study is therefore a verification of the relationship between the level and dynamics of funding on health and the level and dynamics of changes in GDP. The basis of our study is the calculation of Spearman correlation coefficients (due to the conclusion about the lack of normal distribution of the analyzed variables) and multiple regression models. Theoretical and empirical verification of the adopted hypothesis was based on the available Polish and foreign literature as well as statistics provided by national and international research centers. Calculations were made in the package Statistica v. 10
