Abstract

This study analyses the effects of ICT and air pollution on health expenditures of 81 Turkish provinces during 2011-2018. Models were analysed through a panel data method. The results indicated that air pollution and mobile phone subscribers do not affect health expenditure. In contrast, the number of internet subscribers and index variable (devised by the authors) have a negative effect on health expenditure. This study has a unique value and contributes to the literature. It is one of the first studies scrutinizing the impact of air pollution and ICT on health expenditures in Turkey.
