| description | This paper investigates the impact of trade openness and public expenditures on health
status in OIC member countries. Panel data of 47 OIC member countries from 1991 to
2017 is taken from the World Development Indicators (WDI). The econometric results
are estimated using GMM technique to avoid the endogeneity issue in panel data
analysis. The results reveal that trade openness, public health expenditures, public
education expenditures and economic growth are positively and significantly correlated
with life expectancy in overall OIC countries and high income OIC countries. GDP is
negatively and significantly correlated with life expectancy in low income OIC countries.
Trade openness, public health expenditures, public education expenditures and GDP are
negatively and significantly correlated with infant mortality rate in overall OIC countries
and high income OIC countries. GDP has positively and significantly correlated with
infant mortality rate in low income OIC countries |
