Abstract
In this study, the impact of factors affecting health expenditures on per capita health expenditures is tested with panel data analysis. The study covers G7 countries and includes annual data for the period 2011-2021. In the analysis, the ratio of the population over 65 years of age to the total population, the number of doctors per thousand people, the number of hospital beds per thousand people, the rate of alcohol and smoking, and the obesity rate are used as independent variables, while health expenditures per capita are used as dependent variables. The relationship between these variables was estimated by panel OLS method within the framework of the Pooled Regression Model. According to the empirical results, the effect of number of doctors, number of beds and alcohol consumption rate on health expenditures is not statistically significant. However, there is a statistically significant relationship between the ratio of population over 65, smoking rate, obesity rate and per capita health expenditures.
