ANALYSIS OF THE LINKAGE BETWEEN DOMESTIC REVENUE MOBILIZATION AND SOCIAL SECTOR SPENDING NATHAN ASSOCIATES INC. Leadership in Public Financial Management II (LPFM II) 1

MOTIVATION Strengthening domestic resource mobilization, including through international support to developing countries, to improve capacity for tax and other revenue collection, is a specific SDG. Health and education build human capacity that leads to inclusive and sustainable economic growth and thereby poverty alleviation. Health and education ministries focus on increasing spending efficiency, sector-specific financing, external funding, and budget reprioritization as ways to fund their spending. Health and education ministries do not consider supporting domestic resource mobilization as an alternative way to fund spending. This is due to the lack of empirical support for the linkage between domestic resource mobilization and allocation to health and education spending. Leadership in Public Financial Management II (LPFM II) 2

INTRODUCTION The study aims to answer the question: Do public expenditures in the health sector increase when domestic revenues increase in developing countries? Leadership in Public Financial Management II (LPFM II) 3

METHODOLOGY Thorough review of literature Develop econometric models, for different country groups, to identify the factors influencing public expenditure on health and education Estimate the models to quantify the relationship between tax revenue and public expenditure on health for: Low income countries (LIC) Lower middle income countries (LMIC) Upper middle income countries (UMIC) Leadership in Public Financial Management II (LPFM II) 4

KEY VARIABLES Tax revenue Public spending on health Total public expenses GDP per capita, PPP (constant 2011 USD) Private health expenditure Health Assistance to countries Closeness to equator Access to improved sanitation Population between 0 to 14 years Population above 64 years Leadership in Public Financial Management II (LPFM II) 5

STRUCTURAL RELATIONSHIPS Relationship between Total Expenses, Tax Revenues and Public Spending on Health. Factors influencing TOTAL EXPENSES (1) Total Expenses = fn (Tax Revenue, Total Other Revenues, GDP per capita (PPP), Total Population, Official Aid) Factors influencing TAX REVENUE (2) Tax Revenue = fn (Total Expenses, GDP per capita (PPP), Non-Agricultural Sector, Trade) Factors influencing PUBLIC HEALTH EXPENDITURE (3) Public Health Expenditure = fn (Tax Revenue, Total Other Revenues, GDP per capita (PPP), Lag Private Health Expenditure, Lag External Health Assistance, Equator Indicator, Needy population, Lag Improved Sanitation) Substituting the variables of (1) in (2), Tax Revenue (Equation 1) Tax Revenue = fn (GDP per capita (PPP), Non-Agricultural Sector, Trade, Total Population, Official Aid, Total other revenues) Leadership in Public Financial Management II (LPFM II) 9

ESTIMATED RELATIONSHIPS Tax Revenue (Equation 1) Tax Revenue = fn (GDP per capita (PPP), Non-Agricultural Sector, Trade, Total Population, Official Aid, Total other revenues) Health Expenditure (Equation 2) Public Health Expenditure = fn (Tax Revenue, Total other revenues, GDP per capita (PPP), Lag Private Health Expenditure, Lag External Health Assistance, Equator Indicator, Needy population, Lag Improved Sanitation) *Variables highlighted in GREEN are endogenous. Leadership in Public Financial Management II (LPFM II) 10

ESTIMATION APPROACH Tax revenue and public spending on health are endogenous, as confirmed by the Hausman test Given this endogeneity, we use the 2SLS estimation technique. Two structural equations estimated are: a. Factors influencing tax revenue b. Factors influencing public expenditure on health Leadership in Public Financial Management II (LPFM II) 11
