“…These results confirm hypothesis 3 and are in line with studies conducted by Lupu et al (2018) [31] and Kutasi and Marton (2020) [32]. Moreover, the study by Serban et al (2020) [29] provided a positive relationship, although it differs from our work in the order of importance of health expenditures. In their case, outpatient services are in second place, while in ours, health products are in second place.…”

“…The Classification of the Functions of Government (COFOG) divides public expenditure on health into expenditures on health medical products, health outpatient services, health hospital services, health services, public health services, and basic research and development and administration. The study by Serban, Stoenoiu, and Cristea (2020) [29] highlighted the importance of public expenditure on health in terms of its size and necessity, especially hospital services and outpatient services. Despite its importance, public expenditure on health in the EU-27 decreased in the period 2009-2019 from 7.3% of GDP to 7.0% [30].…”

“…According to Serban et al (2020) [29], public policies must take into account migration, demographic changes, population ageing, and the structure of public expenditure, among others. This paper focuses on these phenomena in the 28 countries that make up the European Union in the period 2008-2017 in relation to economic growth.…”

Population ageing and low birth rates are two problems of the EU that have an impact on employment, production, and economic growth. Against this background, immigration, health expenditure, and the health of migrants must become a key element of European policy. For this reason, this paper focused on identifying the effect of immigration, health, and ageing on economic growth in order to highlight their importance from an economic perspective. We constructed different econometric models with Eurostat data for 27 countries and 13 years (2008–2020), whose dependent variable was gross domestic product. Independent variables were the number of immigrants by gender and age, health expenditure per capita (total and by function), immigrants’ perception of their health as very good, and the proportion of the population aged 65 years and over. The model selected to analyze the results was Prais–Winsten regression heteroskedastic panels corrected standard errors modeled by applying the option (ar1) to correct for autocorrelation, using Stata software (version 16). The results show that health expenditure has a significant positive effect on economic growth, higher in hospital services, followed by medical products; immigrants’ perception as very good is only significant in some models. The number of immigrants has a (positive) effect, although less significant than public expenditure on health. Its effect is larger when the immigrant is aged between 15 and 64 years and smaller for male immigrants than for female immigrants. Without the ageing variable, immigration is not significant. Moreover, there are significant differences between European countries in relation to the variables analyses (immigration, immigrants’ perception of their health, ageing and public expenditure on health, and public expenditure on health according to function). This may be due to the different regulations on both immigration and public health in the countries that make up the European Union.

Целта на настоящата статия е, на базата на относителните дялове на осем подгрупи разходи, съставящи държавните разходи за дейности в областта на икономиката по функции на КОФОГ спрямо БВП, 25 държави – членки на ЕС да се систематизират в еднородни групи и на тази основа да се направи сравнителен анализ на държавната намеса в дейности в областта на икономиката. За формирането на еднородните групи се използва нейерархичен метод на K-средните величини. Като измерител на различие се използва евклидовото разстояние. В резултат на клъстеризацията на 25-те държави по подгрупи разходи, съставящи държавните разходи за дейности в областта на икономиката по функции на КОФОГ, са разкрити икономическите дейности, по отношение на които съществуват прилики и разлики в държавната намеса между 25-те държави – членки на ЕС. Посочени са икономическите дейности, в които държавната намеса е необходима за преодоляване на негативните последствия от COVID-19.

The aim of this article is to classify 25 EU member states into homogeneous groups based on the relative shares of GDP of eight subgroups of government expenditures on economic affairs (according to the Classification of the Functions of Government - COFOG) and thus compare the extent of their governments’ intervention in economic affairs. The homogeneous groups were defined by means of a non-hierarchical cluster analysis (K-means) method using the Euclidean distance as a measure of dissimilarity. The results of the clustering of the 25 EU member states by government expenditure by economic function (according to COFOG) reveals the similarities and differences among these countries in terms of their economic interventionism. They also define which economic affairs need government intervention to mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
