Assessing the Productivity of Health Spending: Towards a “Health Satellite Account” for Korea – and Taiwan? 
This collaborative research studies the link between medical spending and health outcomes, providing evidence on the productivity of medical spending in South Korea over recent decades and possible extension to other health systems facing aging populations such as Taiwan.  By leveraging existing strengths of National Health Insurance (NHI) and health outcome data, health systems can develop an accurate measure of medical productivity and a more accurate measure of economy-wide productivity, while becoming global pioneers of “health satellite accounts” (Cutler et al. 2022) for overall populations. Preliminary results suggest that the net value of Korean medical spending is positive and substantial, implying 2.3 percent annual productivity growth between 2000 and 2019 based on longevity gains alone. Since medical care not only ‘adds years to life’ but can also ‘add life to years’ through better quality of life and increased lifetime earnings, I show how including the value of these outcomes further increases estimated productivity while highlighting areas of concern, such as mental health. By developing a “satellite account for health,” statistical agencies and health economists can provide valuable evidence for prioritizing investments to address the most pressing health challenges in Korea, Taiwan, and elsewhere, so that productivity improvement will contribute to longer, healthier lives.
