Özet: Increasing energy consumption with the industrialization process and developing technology have brought many problems. In particular, global warming and environmental destruction caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions have negatively affected human health, leading to an increase in health expenditures. In this direction, the study aims to investigate the effect of greenhouse gas emissions on health expenditures in selected 10 OECD countries for the period 1995-2018. For the analysis, the “ECM panel cointegration test of Westerlund (2007) ”, which takes into account the cross-sectional dependence, was used. The findings showed that there is a long-term relationship between health expenditures per capita, per capita income and per capita carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, the effect of per capita income on per capita health expenditures is statistically significant however, it was found that the cointegration coefficient of the carbon dioxide emission variable was statistically insignificant.
