摘要: This study investigated the convergence of healthcare financing across eight OECD countries during 1960–2009 for first time. The panel stationary test incorporating both shapes multiple structural breaks (i.e., sharp drifts and smooth transition shifts) cross-sectional dependence was used to provide reliable evidence in financing. Our results suggested that public share total has exhibited signs towards US. not only reflected a decline these but also an upward trend US over period 1960–2009.
