Resumo: The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of public health expenditure on productivity. We develop an extension of the augmented Solow model, which includes education and health as a means of explaining productivity. We run conditional convergence regressions for OECD countries, in order to verify the extent to which government consumption and government investment in health enters into the model explaining productivity. The major conclusion of this research is that government consumption in health has consistently positive effects with respect to productivity, while government investment has no effect on productivity.

Para isso desenvolvemos uma extensão do modelo ampliado de Solow, considerando uma medida ampla de capital humano, que abrange tanto a educação como a saúde, como determinantes do crescimento econômico e da produtividade. Estimamos diferentes regressões de convergência para os países da OCDE, objetivando verificar em que medida o gasto público em consumo e em investimento em saúde influencia a produtividade, mantendo as características neoclássicas. Os resultados revelam que o gasto de consumo em saúde apresenta efeitos positivos sobre a produtividade, enquanto o gasto de investimento em saúde não produz o mesmo efeito positivo.Universidade de São Paulo.
