Trends in National Health Expenditures (NHE) among developed countries are addressed in these papers. Multiple perspectives enlarge the span and depth of analysis, and help to refine analysis of why health care spending has grown over time, and why rates of growth vary and converge across countries.

Why is it important?
National Health Expenditures have been one of the fastest growing sectors of developed economies. Now the emerging economies portent to grow even more rapidly and eventually become large in the global health sector.

Broad overviews and comparisons of multiple studies bring the underlying trends of health care spending globally into better focus. To do so, careful attention must be paid to methodological issues, especially geographic boundaries, temporal dynamics and lags.
