The paper seeks to explain the very large differences in per capita spending on healthcare across countries and determines that almost all (more than 90%) of these differences can be explained by variation in per capita income (gross national product). It looks at potential mechanisms to increase healthcare spending to above the level predicted by per capita income and investigates whether a larger public share of overall spending “buys” better health outcomes.
