“…This result confirms to some of the results of earlier studies such as (Hitris, 1997;Di Matteo and Di Matteo, 1998;Poullier et al, 2002;Bokhari et al, 2007). Similarly, economic growth was found to affect IMR only in the long run but no effect in the short run and support earlier work (Grubaugh and Santerre, 1996;Filmer and Pritchett, 1997;Cornia and Mwabu, 1997;Hamner et al, 2003;Duraisamy and Mahal, 2005). There could be two possible explanations behind this.…”

“…Similar to the previous subsections, there are conflicting views about the linkage between economic growth and IMR. While some studies found a strong, positive and statistically significant linkage between the growth and IMR (Grubaugh and Santerre, 1996;Filmer and Pritchett, 1997;Cornia and Mwabu, 1997;Hamner et al, 2003;Duraisamy and Mahal, 2005), others indicated weak or negligible effect (Preston, 1975;Cornia and Mwabu, 1997;Day and Tousignant, 2005).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to employ a two-step approach to investigate the bi-directional causal linkage between: economic growth (measured by GDP) and public expenditure on health; public expenditure on health and infant mortality rate (IMR); and economic growth and IMR in the Indian context. Design/methodology/approach The present study uses econometric analysis, namely, panel cointegration and Granger causality on 20-year panel data on 16 major Indian states to investigate the causality. Findings The results suggest GDP to Granger cause public expenditure on health both in the short run and in the long run, but public expenditure on health to Granger cause GDP only in the long run. Further, public expenditure on health and economic growth were found to Granger cause IMR in the long run. However, the reverse linkage from IMR to public expenditure on health and/or economic growth was not significant. Research limitations/implications The present study provides support to the existing literature on the effects of economic growth on health expenditure and health outcomes but also raises a question on the time required to realize the same. Practical implications The findings have implications for policy makers on the time frame and application of health expenditure to achieve better results. Originality/value The present study is one of the first to test the tripartite linkage between economic growth, public health expenditure and health outcomes at a state-level analysis.

Background: Health systems delivery systems can be divided into two broad categories: National Health Services (NHS) on the one hand and Social Security (based) Health care systems (SSH) on the other hand. Existing literature is inconclusive about which system performs best. In this paper we would like to improve the evidence-base for discussion about pros and cons of NHS-systems versus SSH-system for health outcomes, expenditure and population satisfaction.
