Abstract

This paper examines the impact of economic growth, energy and public health expenditure on life expectancy in Nigeria applying Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model over the period of 1980 to 2018. The result shows that economic growth and public health expenditure positively affect life expectancy over the period of the study. On the other hand, energy negatively affect life expectancy. Consequently, It is however, recommended that, to improve the health status in Nigeria, health policymakers should focus on the factors which lie outside the healthcare system. These factors are mainly associated with economic growth and development level. Thus, the economic stabilisation policies with the aim of increasing the productivity, economic growth, and energy efficiency will certainly play significant roles in the improvement of health status and therefore, increasing the life span of Nigerians.
