“…Their results suggest that in resource-rich developing countries, governments in resource-rich developing countries give little capital investment in priority sectors such as health, the same results were obtained by karimu and al. [14] and, Turan and Yankkaya [15].…”

Aims/ Objectives: To determine whether oil rent is a curse for the health of populations in Africa.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: Oil-producing African countries over the period 2000-2015.Methodology: Using the Random effects (RE) and the Two Stages Least Square (2SLS) estimators on a sample of 18 Oil-producing African countries.Results: The results show that oil rent has a negative effect on life expentancy.Conclusion: The fact that oil-producing African countries have a source of revenue that does not depend on taxation, means that the governments of these countries do not make health an important part of public policy.

“…One of the main focuses of this study is the effect of natural resources on health expenditures. Only a very limited part of the literature focuses on the impact of natural resources on health expenditures (Cockx and Francken 2014 ; El Anshasy and Katsaiti 2015 ; Zhan et al 2015 ; Hong 2017 ; Nikzadian et al 2019 ; Turan and Yanıkkaya 2020 ). In our study, we try to fill this gap by modelling the relationship between natural resources and health.…”

“…Moreover, very limited empirical studies examine the relationship between natural resources and health expenditures. Cockx and Francken ( 2014 ), El Anshasy and Katsaiti ( 2015 ), Nikzadian et al ( 2019 ), and Turan and Yanıkkaya ( 2020 ) investigated the relationship in question with the help of different panel data techniques and obtained different findings. As far as we know, the absence of a time series study on this subject is one of the main motivations for our study.…”

The environmental pollution caused by climate change and global warming pose significant risks to health. This raises the question how environmental disturbances can affect health expenditures. Based on this, this study examines the asymmetric effect of environmental quality on health expenditures in Türkiye using the non-linear ARDL (NARDL) model for the 1975–2019 period. In addition to environmental quality, natural resources, economic growth, and trade openness variables are also included in the health expenditure model. The findings support the existence of an asymmetric cointegration relationship between the series. The findings also indicate that positive environmental pollution shocks affect health expenditures positively in the long run, while negative environmental pollution shocks do not have a statistically significant effect on health expenditures. Positive and negative natural resource shocks affect health expenditures negatively in the long run. Despite the effect of positive economic growth shocks on health expenditures is positive but statistically insignificant, the effect of negative economic growth shocks is positive and significant. Besides, positive trade openness shocks have a negative effect on health expenditures and negative trade openness shocks have a positive effect. The findings prove that the steps to be taken to protect the environment in the current period will increase the effectiveness of health expenditures in the future. This situation has a guiding feature for policy-makers in terms of policy decisions.

“…Sanginabadi (2021), using longitudinal data from 1960 to 2014 for the Middle East and North Africa region, found that oil price increase allowed for increased spending for publicly funded health care with an increased number of hospital beds with a possibility of decreased mortality. Nevertheless, a recent study by Turan and Yanıkkaya (2020) revealed an inverse relationship between natural resources and public expenditure, suggesting that natural resources increased child mortality while decreasing health care provision.…”

Natural resource effect on child health outcomes in a multifactor health production model in developing countries

PurposeThis study investigates if wealth from natural resources impacts child health in developing countries.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology includes testing the effect of rents from natural resources on under-five mortality rates using a multifactor health production model for 57 developing nations. The panel estimation procedure was applied to data covering 2002 to 2017, disaggregated by non-renewable and renewable resources and low and medium human development countries.FindingsThe results provide strong evidence that wealth from total natural resources has not been associated with reductions in under-five mortality rates. However, disaggregation of the sample countries by natural resource constituents revealed that only the wealth of non-renewable is strongly inversely associated with under-five mortality rates. Further disaggregation of countries by the low and medium human development constituents revealed a statistically insignificant negative correlation of non-renewable resources wealth and under-five mortality in the low human development countries. In contrast, the results of the medium human development countries revealed that wealth from natural resources (both non-renewable and renewable) had not been associated with any reductions in under-five mortality rates. The results also confirm that immunization levels, nutrition, private spending on health care, air quality, urban living and countries closer to the equator are other strong correlates of under-five mortality rates in low human development countries.Social implicationsThe findings here have implications for the timely achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (to reduce under-five deaths to around 25 per 1,000 live births by 2030). Governments ought to ensure that incomes from the extractive sector are aligned in forms that promote and feed into improving child health wellbeing.Originality/valueThis research creates a shift from aggregate health wellbeing research agenda to investigate how specific aspects of human development can be linked to wealth from non-renewable and renewable natural resources in developing nations. It adds new knowledge and provides health and natural resources policymakers opportunities to combine their policies and synergize efforts to improve child health outcomes.
