Abstract:

The relationship between economic growth, environmental disruption and health expenditure has recently become a growing topic of importance in economic literature for both developing and developed countries. This study aims to study the health expenditure, CO2 emissions and the relationship between economic growth. Annual data for the period 1975-2019 for Turkey was used. The standby feature of the series has been tested using ADF and PP unit root tests. When the first differences were taken, all the variables were determined to be stable, and then an analysis of equalization was made. The result is that there is a long-term positive and meaningful relationship between the variables. Fourier's causality test results show that there is a one-way causality relationship from CO2 emissions to health expenditure and from growth to CO2 emissions.
