Germany has an approximate area of 357 000 km2. Its population is 82.526 million. The life expectancy at birth is 75.6 years for men and 81.6 years for women (World Health Organization, 2005). The proportion of gross domestic product allocated to the health budget is 10.8%. The per capita total expenditure on health is $2820 (international dollars here and below) and the per capita government expenditure on health is $2113 (World Health Organization, 2005). A major factor in recent German history was reunification, which had a pronounced effect on the German healthcare system.

Background: Human capital is an effective variable on the health condition of a society and its changing changes health expenditure as the proxy of health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between human capital determinants and health expenditure. Methods: An empirical model was used with 7 variables included gender parity (GPI) index, literacy rate, life expectancy at birth, GDP per capita, physician per capita, and hospital’s bed as the independent variable and health expenditure as depended variable. After unit root test of data by using Zivot-Andrews method, the model was estimated by ordinary least square (OLS) method. Result: GPI had the negative and significant impact on health expenditure. Literacy had the positive and significant impact on depended variable. In addition, GDP per capita and life expectancy had positive and significant on health expenditure. Hospital bed and physician per capita did not have the significant relationship with health expenditure.  The value of R-squared and Durbin-Watson statistic were 0.99 and 1.95 respectively, which showed good model fit. Conclusion: literacy rate and GPI index as the proxy of human capital had the different impact on health expenditure. The first had positive and the latter had negative. GDP per capita had the positive impact that showed health was a normal good.

Mexico is the largest Spanish-speaking state in North America that borders the United States on one side, and Guatemala and Belize on the other. The country is home to more than 120 million people, in terms of population Mexico ranks 10th. Many Mexicans prefer to live in large cities (for example, every 5th inhabitant of the country lives in the capital of Mexico City, and Mexico City itself is the second largest city in the world), but there are many villages and fishing villages scattered along the coast. The level of medical care in large metropolitan areas and small settlements varies greatly. Mexico was ranked 21st in the 2018 Bloomberg World Health System Performance Index. This ranking, which allows assessing healthcare systems, was based on three key indicators: average life expectancy at birth, government spending on health as a percentage of GDP per capita, and the cost of health services per capita. However, in terms of life expectancy, Mexico ranks only 80th in the world (the average life expectancy in this country was 75 years in 2018).

Pipeline Project

This chapter discusses the possibility of developing an energy market in Turkey. Turkey currently serves as an energy transit corridor, with the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) and Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipelines and with its seaborne oil trade, where large volumes are carried by tankers through its straits. Turkey also has the potential to become an energy market with new projects connecting producers in Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Caucasus, and major consumers of oil and natural gas in Europe and other regions of the world. Two recent megaprojects, The Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project (TANAP) and Turkish Stream will move Turkey closer to fulfilling this dream. Turkey, however, needs to meet some requirements to be considered a mature energy market. These are related, among others, to factors such as its infrastructure, storage capacity, market reforms, and easy market access for private firms to actively participate in the energy market.
