REYNOSO-GONZALEZ, Jorge José Luis  and  LEON ARIAS, Adrián De. Economic Growth and Public Spending on Health According to Target Population in Mexico. Ens. Rev. econ. [online]. 2021, vol.40, n.1, pp.89-114.  Epub Sep 27, 2021. ISSN 2448-8402.  https://doi.org/10.29105/ensayos40.1-4.

This article analyzes the long-term relationship between Public Spending on Health (PHS) and economic growth (EG) in Mexico through a regional perspective and considering public spending on health to the population, with and without access to social security. In particular, we offer a differential analysis by type of access to health services and region that enriches the literature in this regard. The econometric analysis is developed through panel data with GDP and PHS information from 32 states in a period from 1993 to 2017 and applies cointegration and modeling techniques using MG-FMOLS. The main results find evidence in favor of a long-term relationship between CE and both types of GPS. Additionally, the relationship between these results and the level of development by state is explored.

Keywords : Economic Growth; Public expenditure on Health; Social security; Regional Economic Development; O47; I18; I14; H55.
