Research on regional
equity measurement
of government health
expenditure in China
Mengying Wang
Jiangxi University of Finance and
Economics, China
With the rapid growth
of total health and
medicine expenditure in China,
the significant difference in
health expenditure among
different regions is becoming
outstanding. The equity of
Chinese government health
expenditure (GHE) has been
a hot topic in the field of
public health care service.
The scholars all over the
world think that fair medical
and health services are very
important. Scholars use
different methods to measure
the GHE equity, among which
the Gini coefficient and Theil
index are the most widely
used. Based on the research
methods of most scholars, the
Gini coefficient and Theil index
are used to measure the GHE
equity in this paper. The results
show that the overall GHE
tends to be fair from 2005 to
2014. However, from 2015 to
2016, the GHE equity declines
slightly. After decomposing the
Theil index of national GHE,
this paper finds that the intra-
regional differences are greater
than inter-regional differences,
and the intra-regional and
inter-regional difference results
in the inequity of the national
GHE. The contribution rate of
increased inequity of intra-
region is greater than that
of inter-region. This paper
continues to decompose
the regional disparities
of government health
expenditure in China and finds
that the GHE equity in eastern,
western and central provinces
has increased year by year,
while it in northeastern
provinces has declined, and
it in eastern areas has the
greatest impact on the equity
of national GHE.
