Research Abstract

This study investigates the relationship among health, medical system, technology, and social overhead capital. First this study examines how health of people of a nation is determined. Using data on the OECD countries, I found that life expectancy is not explained by per capita medical expenditure. On the other hand, I found that per capita consumption of pharmaceutical, hygiene, education level, and less tobacco consumption are shown to increase life expectancies.
Second, I attempt to estimate the value of health in a new method. I find that life time consumption and social overhead capital can be used to estimate the value of health.
Third, I examine the role of medical insurance on medical technology. I use the case of pharmaceutical industry. Japanese medical insurance has led pharmaceutical R&D toward less innovative products.
Fourth, I analyze the international transfer of knowledge in medical technology. I use the pharmaceutical technology. By tracking patent data, I find that transfer of knowledge is limited within the same firm and nation.
