La politica economica e la spesa sanitaria

The National health system (Nhs) gets social relevance taking into consideration its importance as a social institution. At same time, Nhs plays the role of industries since it generates income and affects the economic development as well as all the other industries. The attempt of this paper is to verify, through the macro multipliers approach, if does it exist a convenient policy for the sanitary expenses. Such a policy permits to rule the incidence of the health’s expenses with respect to the total output and without neglecting the effects that such policy originates on the main macroeconomics variables. The empirical analysis is build on an Input-Output table for the year 2000. The multi-sectoral analysis is the most suitable tool to analyze both the economics linkages among industries and the economics interrelations between productive system and institutional sectors. The convenient policy differs from selective policy for health sector. The first one implies a complex redistribution of the resources in order to achieves the best result in terms of reduction of the ratio between health expenditure and GDP but without depressing total industrial production.
