Health Expenditure Convergence Analysis for Non-Euro EU States, 2000–2022

European Union health expenditure data for seven member states outside the euro area from 2000 to 2022. The dataset supports an analysis of stochastic convergence in per capita health spending using nonlinear time-series approaches. It was authored by Melina Dritsaki and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling nonlinear convergence in health spending based on the described time-series analysis.
• Assessing the impact of economic shocks on health financing based on the described asymmetric adjustment dynamics.
• Comparing fiscal maturity and institutional stability across health systems based on the described country-level findings.
• Informing adaptive health financing strategies based on the described cyclical convergence patterns.

Strengths

• Analysis covers a 23-year period from 2000 to 2022.
• Focuses on seven specific EU member states outside the euro area.
• Employs nonlinear and structural-break-sensitive methodological approaches described in the paper.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The primary data file is a 784.1 KB DOCX document; underlying numerical data is not directly accessible.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
