초록

Many studies have investigated the association between health status and economic growth, between health status and international trade. Advancing on earlier work, this paper incorporates unemployment rate, population growth rate, income inequality, institutional indicators and indicators related to infrastructure along with growth and trade indicators, and uses dynamic panel technique in order to find the behavior of population health status in developing nations. The present study aims to provide new evidence regarding health status determinants and how they are related to the population health status in developing countries. This study is provided new evidence on this relationship for 51 developing countries during the period 1980–2018. Apart from this, we have tested the sensitivity of the estimates in our empirical analysis using three clusters of countries, namely, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Overall, our results suggest that improvement of health status can be achieved from either an increase in per capita income or from the perspective of international trade or in the presence of strong institution and better health infrastructure.
