Abstract

Count data takes only integer values and it is the type of data that commonly used in econometric researches. The aim of this study is determining factors that effects health care demand in Turkey by using Turkish Statistical Institute’s 2012 Health Survey data. Number of doctor visits variable which is taken into acount as an indicator of demand is a count data. It will be investigated that whether number of doctor visits which is one of the independent variables is endogenous or not. Instrumental Variable Method, Generalized Method of Moments and Zero Inflated Negative Binomial Model will be handled and political assessments will be made.
