THE ROLE OF MORTALITY IN ECONOMIC GROWTH
THE ROLE OF MORTALITY IN ECONOMIC GROWTH

Summary/Abstract: Can mortality affect the economic growth of a country? From this question, I have developed a study in the member countries of the European Union for a period contained between the years 1990-2012, using as a human health measure the mortality rate. In order to proof the effect of mortality on the economic growth, the study has begun from the function of health production described by Grossman in 1972, which uses as explanatory variables, the environmentally socialist economic factors as health determinants. The econometric analysis has been performed using the statistical program Stata 12, and the results have been interpreted from a sign and coefficient measure point of view.
