A country's health system is classified as predominantly public if the average share of public health expenditure for the period under study is greater than the average share of private health expenditure; it is classified as predominantly private if the reverse is the case. The aim is to derive the income elasticities of health expenditure in other to unravel countries in the sub region where health provision is likely to be a necessary good. To capture the dynamic nature of the relationship, the study's methodology relies on several econometric procedures (pooled mean group, mean group, and common correlated error mean group estimators). Other variables included in the model are official development assistance, the price level, population above 65 and migrant remittances. The unit root test performed showed that most of the variables in the study are not stationary at level; however, they are cointegrated in the long run, justifying the choice of the estimation techniques. The empirical results reveals that the short run income elasticity of health expenditure in sub-Saharan Africa is 0.36 and in the long run, the value becomes 1.18 with a speed of adjustment of 0.41. This suggest that 41% of the short run disequilibrium is dissipated in the current period. Other variables that were included in the model as controls were not statistically significant. In the reduced model that has only income as regressor, the short run and long run income elasticities in the overall sample continues to remain significant, however, the income elasticity in the predominantly public health system is greater than the elasticity in the predominantly private health system. This suggests that health is more of a development issue in a predominantly private health system in sub–Saharan Africa. An implication of the present study is that citizens of sub-Saharan African countries that rely more on private financing of health expenditure are likely to be exposed to catastrophic health financing. Hence, policymakers can avert this by encouraging more public financing of healthcare provision.","PeriodicalId":286315,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Developing Areas","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128991498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While objective class dynamics have received much attention in South Africa, less is known about the subjective social position individuals place themselves. The study aims to make use of the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) dataset and assess the relationship between objective and subjective class positions in South Africa. The results show considerable variation between objective and subjective class positions, with a strong middling tendency among all objective class groups in South Africa. The study also shows that this middling tendency has increased in the last decade in South Africa, predominantly due to individuals overestimating their social positions. With a large share of South Africans living close or below the poverty line, there is a clear biasedness of South Africans placing themselves in the middle of society, deviating from their lower objective position. The study further measures the variation between objective and subjective social positions to create a novel class scheme of inflated, deflated, and concordant class perceptions. These biased perceptions are then compared to socio-economic characteristics, showing that gender, race, and education are closely related to bias perceptions in South Africa. Furthermore, the increasing nature of high inequality and social unrest events in South Africa prompts the study also to assess the different social and political attitudes by varying objective and subjective class schemes. The results show that among the subjective class identification, individuals in higher perceived class positions tend to be less angered towards inequality, have lower redistribution preferences, and perceive a weaker conflict between the rich and the poor. These results confirm the impact perceived social positions and biased perceptions could have on social and political attitudes in South Africa. Attitudes that have been considered relevant in voting behavior and social policy formulation models. The results of the paper provides some vital information for policy makers on the dynamics behind subjective class and bias perceptions in South Africa.","PeriodicalId":286315,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Developing Areas","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122918698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
