Abstract :This article provides an aggregated indicator of health in the world from a macroeconomic perspective. Using World
Bank Data Based on a sample of 178 countries and regions covering the period 1995-2014, we adopt the principal component
analysis (PCA) to estimate the new indicator. The main results are as follows: the new indicator belongs to -5.375 and 4.239,
where -5.375 is the score recorded by the worst-ranked country while 4.239 is the highest score recorded. In 2014, 69% of the
sample have an index greater than the average of zero because of the normalization of data in ACP. The remaining 31% are
mainly found in Africa, mostly in the Sub-Saharan regions. |
