Abstract

Economics
Government Health Expenditure, National Income, SADC
There is no doubt; expenditure on health has gained large importance in the critical domain on public expenditure and public policy. No wonder why the public has always paid close attention to public health expenditure. Using panel data covering the period 2000 – 2017 for 16 Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries (that is, Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Seychelles, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe), this study applied the pooled regression, fixed effects and random effects models in an attempt to analyze the impact of Government Health Expenditure (GHE) on national income in the SADC region. Panel unit root tests indicated that the employed data was stationary in levels. Post-estimation diagnostic tests showed that the fixed effects model was the most appropriate model and that it was not suffering from serial correlation and cross-sectional dependence. The study established that GHE has a positive significant but weak impact on national income in the SADC region. Amongst other policy recommendations, the study suggests that governments of all SADC countries should prioritise GHE over non-productive expenditures such as expenditure on buying ammunitions and weapons. They ought to allocate a significant portion of their budgets towards health expenditure given its positive impact on national income. Indeed, expenditure on health is an investment in itself because a healthy nation is a productive nation.
