摘要：

In this paper, a modified version of the Granger causality test proposed by Toda and Yamamoto is used to investigate causality between GDP and healthcare expenditure in OECD countries. The findings indicate that bidirectional Granger causality is predominant. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
