AbstractThe aim of this article is to help explain the history of the public spending-to-GDP ratio in France by examining the production of laws and regulations. It empirically finds a positive and significant relationship between the number of pages in the Official Gazette of the French Republic and the development of the public expenditure-to-GDP ratio. We rely on the number of pages in the Official Gazette as a proxy for the cost of implementing laws and regulations. If unchecked, a proliferation of laws and regulations expands public spending. Over the period 1905–2015, a 10% increase in pages caused a 1.14% increase in the public expenditure-to-GDP ratio.

El gasto público en México se orienta a crear condiciones de desarrollo humano, salud y bienestar social por parte del Estado a través de su estructura federal. Se busca identificar cuál es el comportamiento de los indicadores de crecimiento y desarrollo de las entidades federativas en México en el periodo comprendido de 2005 a 2010. Con el análisis estadístico, se concluye que la relación entre el gasto público, destinado a rubros de salud, educación, desarrollo de infraestructura social, tiene una baja correlación con los índices de desarrollo en el país. Las variaciones no son significativas pero si las diferencias entre entidades federativas. El análisis de los indicadores mencionados, pretende mostrar que el gasto público no impacta claramente en las condiciones de salud, desarrollo y bienestar social de los mexicanos, elevando su calidad de vida.Palabras clave: Gasto público; Indice de Desarrollo Humano; bienestar psicológico; calidad de vida; condiciones de vida AbstractPublic spending in Mexico aims to create conditions of human development, heal­th and social well-being by the State through its federal structure. Our target is to identify what is the behavior of the indicators of grow­th and development in Mexico in the period of 2005-2010. After the statistical analysis, it is concluded that the relationship between pu­blic spending aimed at areas of health, educa­tion, social infrastructure development, has a low correlation with development index in the country. The variations in this index are not significant in the years analysed, but the diffe­rences between states does. The proposal aims at the public spending for being reflected sig­nificantly in the conditions of health, develop­ment and welbeing of Mexican people.Keywords: Public expenditure; Human develo­pment Index; Psychological well-being; Quali­ty of life; Life conditions

The Cost

Abstract This paper deals with the issue of how two geographically separate jurisdictions should share the cost of a centralized and uniformly provided public good. The key assumption is that jurisdictional representatives make decisions by bargaining in die centralised legislature. Results suggest that jurisdictions may reach a mutually beneficial agreement by equalising the net welfare gain produced by the provision of die public good, rather than the public good cost. The model identifies the efficiency and redistributive implications of such an agreement.

ABSTRACTUsing new public spending statistics for Spain and other various indicators we show that Spain and Britain suffered larger increases in public expenditure in the periods in which they fought each other and other countries. The British Exchequer spent much more than its Spanish counterpart, especially on the Army and Navy and debt repayment. This situation helps to explain why Britain emerged victorious against Spain in the majority of these wars and was a consequence of the political and institutional changes made in England from 1688 onwards, reducing budget constraint and allowing Britain to mobilise the necessary resources to become the leading world power. In Spain, however, the changes required to eliminate the country's history of bankruptcies and increase its spending capacity were not made.

Interest in the issue of public Expenditures (spending) priorities increases in times of financial and economic crisis, when restrictions on government funding grow, and financial markets stumble in providing financing channels with the necessary liquidity, as well as when paying attention to increasing the efficiency and productivity of public spending, by reducing the waste of public money and pursuing its allocation between different economic sectors to achieve the public benefit as much as possible and at the lowest possible cost. Among the discussions being raised in this regard is where the priority lies in spending is on sectors that support human development such as (education, health and public services), or the priority of spending on other sectors (which may hinder human development and delay the development of states and civil societies) such as military sectors, armaments, military industries and related sectors. Because each side has its arguments and evidence of modern economic and human experiences, it is difficult to resolve the controversy in a certain direction and ignore the opinion of the second party, but what concerns us is the situation of our country and our society and the economic and social pressures and renewed threats from time to time, and what is the most objective and credible reading of the authors of the philosophy of the Iraqi economy, and its emerging priorities developed after 2003, through the trends of the federal budget in this country. Given the financial crisis that is ravaging the global economy as a result of the Corona pandemic and the great isolation measures Great Lockdown and the repercussions of this crisis on the Iraqi economy as a result of the collapse of the world oil markets, so discussions are escalating in the field of rationalization and efficiency of government public spending, and because the general budget depends on the general revenues on oil revenues by more than 90% in most years after 2003, so an external shock or collapse in the oil market affects the revenues of the general budget, and therefore there is a situation The uncertainty of budget planners and implementers in collecting the revenues required to cover the public expenditure side, and the most important items of governing public expenditure, namely employee compensation, support for the poor and others.

Optimal Health

Health is considered a Human Right that every person should receive for free and in quality, it is important in the fact that it is a basic service for the development of a country. In Mexico, public spending on health is equivalent to 2.5% of GDP, however, the OECD indicates that it is necessary to allocate at least 6% to have an optimal Health System. In the same tenor, Mexico has 2.9 nurses per thousand inhabitants, while Norway has 17.8 nurses per thousand. The objective of this research is to analyze public spending for the health sector to determine its impact on the main indicators that measure the quality of service provided by the Mexican Health System. Some results indicate that Mexico faces complex and challenging health needs and that there are huge discrepancies compared to other countries. This research contributes to providing a broader perspective on the public expenditure allocated to the Health System of Mexico in order to design public policies that allow offering high-quality care focused on people.

And Control

The present government came to office with a commitment to cut state spending while reducing government intervention in the economy and extending the sphere of private choice through tax reductions. This philosophy, while of significance for the longerterm development of the public sector, is actually of limited use in explaining the 1979 public expenditure reductions. These stem from one of the recurrent crises of financial control which have afflicted public spending plans in the last decade and a half. The purpose of this article is to analyse the financial and economic background to the cuts, which, it is argued, would have called for programme adjustments whatever administration had been in office, though the type of reductions made may bear the imprint of different political philosophies.

Abstract Background: Physiotherapy is an integral part of medicine, both in terms of prevention and treatment. Despite the long history of healing with movement and other physical factors, physiotherapy is considered to be a young field of medicine, and the occupation of the physiotherapist in the social consciousness is in the building phase. The aim of the study was to investigate the interest in physiotherapist Material/Methods: The study involved 199 people, including 117 women (58.79%) and 82 men (41.21%), residents of the Silesian Voivodship. Age of respondents: 16-81 years (x = 46.22, SD = 13.45). The research tool was an original questionnaire. Closed questions concerned the interest in physiotherapist profession, self-assessment of knowledge and its sources, opinions on the availability and quality of services, and the social prestige and profitability of the physiotherapist profession. Results: Respondents most often declared that their interest in the profession is poor or average, but they evaluate their level of knowledge of the profession as high. The prevailing opinions are that the availability of physiotherapist services is large, but at patients own expense, and the cost-effectiveness of the profession is average. Women revealed greater interest and declared more knowledge of the profession than men. Differences also concerned the opinions on the profitability of the profession. Conclusions: The public interest in physiotherapist profession is on an average level, positive opinions about physiotherapists prevail, especially among older people. The profession is considered to be averagely profitable.

The Cost

This paper analyses the cost-effectiveness of combining several economic policy instruments to address the problem of non-renewable pumping in the Alto Guadalentín aquifer in southeastern Spain, one of the most extreme cases of aquifer depletion in Europe. Our results show that all instruments have significant economic impacts. However, the future availability of desalinisation would notably mitigate these impacts, as farmers can substitute groundwater with desalinised water. Although a complete ban on non-renewable pumping and an environmental tax on withdrawals imply the lowest level of public expenditure, they are very unpopular and have a large political cost. The buyback of groundwater rights and the subsidisation of desalinisation in exchange for reducing withdrawals are likely to be much better received by farmers, as their cost would be charged to the public budget. A combination of instruments would split the cost of aquifer recovery between farmers and the administration and would therefore possibly not meet with as much opposition from stakeholders.

Fiscal Disparities

Fiscal equalisation refers to attempts within a federal system of government to reduce fiscal disparities among jurisdictions, which emerge due to variation in sub-national jurisdictions ability to raise revenues to meet the public expenditure needs of their residents. This is because of an imbalance in the assignment of revenue sources to sub-national levels and their expenditure needs, given the allocation of the inter-governmental fiscal powers and responsibilities. In the Pakistani context, the need for transfers is highlighted by the fact that while provincial governments generate only about 8 percent of total national resources, their share in total public spending is 28 percent. Also the fiscal capacity of the four provinces varies, with the relatively more developed provinces being able to self-generate a higher proportion of their resource requirements. As such, transfers take place, according to the provisions of the National Finance Commission (NFC) awards, with the objective of removing both vertical and horizontal imbalances between own-revenues and expenditure.
