Abstract：
To find a way to realize sustainable development, this paper applied a cross-sectional ARDL (CS-ARDL) method to explore the interaction between carbon emissions, economic development, and health care expenditure for OECD countries. Firstly, we conduct a cross-sectional test to check whether the data is confronted with this issue. Secondly, we conduct a panel unit root test and cointegration test to confirm whether the ARDL-based method is suitable for our data. Thirdly, we analyze the results and provide possible explanations. Lastly, we conduct a short-term causality test to detect the connection between different variables. The main conclusion of our study includes: 1) Health care is a necessity in OECD countries. 2) Environmental deterioration places a heavy burden on health care expenditure in OECD countries. 3) Health care expenditure of last year negatively affects health care expenditure. 4) There is a short-run causality relationship from CO2, economic development, and dependency rate of youth to health care expenditure in OECD countries. Related policy proposals are provided according to our analysis of the results.
摘要：
寻找实现可持续发展的途径,本文采用截面ARDL(CS-ARDL)方法探索碳排放之间的相互作用,经济发展,和经合组织国家的医疗保健支出。首先,我们进行了横截面测试，以检查数据是否遇到了这个问题。其次,我们进行面板单位根检验和协整检验，以确认基于ARDL的方法是否适合我们的数据。第三，我们分析了结果并提供了可能的解释。最后,我们进行了短期因果关系检验，以检测不同变量之间的联系。我们研究的主要结论包括：1)医疗保健是经合组织国家的必需品。2)环境恶化给经合组织国家的医疗保健支出带来沉重负担。3）去年的医疗保健支出对医疗保健支出产生负面影响。4)二氧化碳、经济发展、以及经合组织国家青年对医疗保健支出的依赖率。根据我们对结果的分析，提出了相关的政策建议。
