| Title | Determinants of health status and the difference in efficiency of the utilization of health care inputs in countries of the former Soviet Union |
| Summary | In this thesis I examine whether a certain set of factors have an impact on the health status of the population in the former Soviet Union countries. I conduct my research based on the data using panel data approach. Life expectancy at birth and infant mortality were chosen as proxies for the health status. The results are not homogenous when different measures for health status are considered. Socio-economic and lifestyle factors were found to have a more significant effect on life expectancy and infant mortality than health care resources. I also show that countries differ in efficiency of using health care resources and that the efficiency can be increased for majority of the countries without changing the level of health care inputs. |
