Abstract

this study aims to identify an important aspect of the Algerian health economy, which is to clarify the relationship between health expenses and funding resources through a standard study of annual data of the period from 1990 to 2018. To achieve this aim, we relied on the Approach of self-regression of declaration periods (ARDL), using three independent variables which represent funding sources: the government paid health expenses, social security fund compensated health expenses and families health expenditure, add to the dependent variable which is the national health expenditure. This study concluded that there is a moral and direct relationship between the variables studied in both the long and short terms.
