The Poverty-Economic Growth-Health Triangle

No 9587, EcoMod2016 from EcoMod

Abstract: To identify the dynamic interactions existing between Poverty, Economic Growth and Health using country-level panel data from developing countries We treat endogeneity and the selectivity issues coming from unavailability of poverty indicators. We develop innovative econometric methods that we apply to an original set of indicators at country level. e find that the data generation through household surveys depends on crucial socio-economic factors and that our new method of selectivity correction has a massive impact on our estimation results casting doubt on previous findings in the literature and changing fundamentally the picture and the interpretation of development process.
