Comparative public health
the political economy of human misery and well-being
Paul Huth, Bruce M. Russett
pp. 109-135
Nearly 10 % of the world's economic resources are devoted to health care. But why do certain countries devote more resources to public health? Why are some countries better than others at achieving tangible health outcomes using the same level of economic resources. Surprisingly, political scientists and public health scholars have done only limited systematic research on these important questions. We address them by developing and testing an analytical framework of domestic and international political influences on public health.
