Abstract: This document establishes that a simple model that captures the idiosyncratic effects of each country, based on income, aging and an increasing trend in costs, has great explanatory capacity of real public spending per person. The exercise is extended, to three regional levels: the world and its regions, Latin America and Argentina, for 2000-2015. For the latter case we can conclude that aging is associated with expenses incurred prior to death and a low significance of Baumol's Cost Disease.
