Item Fractal analysis of the medical insurance market: Theoretical and practical aspects(Academic Research and Publishing UG, 2023) Mańak-Szulik, M.; Коломієць, Світлана Володимирівна; Kolomiiets, Svitlana Volodymyrivna; Krawczyk, D.; Olihnenko, K.The latest experience obviously reflects that social-economic systems increasingly demonstrate an unforecastable behaviour. Financial markets are characterised by extremely guick change and crisis phenomena. Use of traditional modelling methods (in particular, the effective market hypothesis) provides no opportunity to obtain efficient forecasts about state and development of financial markets. One of promising methods in researching and modelling financial markets is the fractal analysis. Various natural and social phenomena posess fractality properties, namely there are similar structures on different scales. Generality of the fractal analysis methods allows their applying to study systems of any nature – from physical to economic and social ones. Fractality attributes of time series provide its dynamics pre-forecast and assess the time series predictability. The fractal analysis consists in establishing the extent of time series similarity to the fractal ones and defining a relation between the trend line and fractal dimension. The Hurst exponent assessment (persistence or anti-persistence of time series) predicts the further process development on the preliminary data basis. The fractal analysis efficiency during the unstable market periods is applicable for studying different social-economic systems (in particular, the Ukrainian medical insurance market). The research object is time series of gross insurance rewards on the Ukrainian medical insurance market. The research topic is the time series fractal analysis. The paper deals with peculiarities of the time series fractal analysis, the R/S analysis for time series of gross insurance rewards on the Ukrainian medical insurance market (via the MS Excel software). The Statistica 10.0.228.2 application generated the ARIMA model to predict dynamics of the gross insurance rewards on the Ukrainian medical insurance market. The obtained results may be used to conduct the R/S analysis of financial time series. In particular, that concerns those time series that describe the insurance market. Also, dynamics of the financial time series may be forecasted via these results as wellItem Policy transfer and health policymaking process: The case of social health insurance in Ghana(Sumy State University, 2023) Awojobi, O.N.; Adeniji, O.A.Since the introduction of the user fee system of healthcare financing in 1969 and its subsequent modifications, the burden of healthcare expenditure on residents of Ghana created health inequality. This system encouraged the poor and vulnerable to have limited access to essential drugs and services. Policy entrepreneurs contributed to raising awareness about the poor and vulnerable people in Ghana not having access to health due to the user fee system as a public policy problem. This awareness began to spread among political leaders, the masses, and professional groups, warranting the attention of policymakers. As significant public dissatisfaction and agitation against the user fee policy continued, the media continued to hold the government responsible for initiating the policy. The democratization process and election period between 1998 and 2000 provided a window of opportunity that led to the idea of health policy change. In 2003, Ghana established the National Social Health Insurance, a form of Social Health Insurance. This study examines the process of establishing the social health insurance scheme through policy transfer framework. First, the paper examines Ghana’s health policy after independence, the National Health Service, and the User Fee Policy that was implemented in 1985. Second, the paper accessed the policy transfer framework and applied it to the transfer of social health insurance. Third, the paper explains the radical change from the user fee policy to the social health insurance model. This essay uses time series analysis and comparative analysis to assess the impact of the social health insurance on the under-five mortality ratio, maternal mortality ratio and out-of-pocket expenditure. The assessment results show that the social health insurance scheme has a positive impact on under-five mortality, maternal mortality and out-of-pocket payment compared to Nigeria without social health insurance for the poor and other vulnerable groups. The paper concludes that policy transfer alone cannot be a single variable to explain radical health policy change, but when combined with other complementary perspectives, an empirically grounded account of policy change can be developed.Item Development of the voluntary health insurance market in Ukraine(Sumy State University, 2021) Журавка, Олена Сергіївна; Журавка, Елена Сергеевна; Zhuravka, Olena Serhiivna; Daher, K.; Bosak, I.This paper is aimed to study the development trends of the domestic voluntary health insurance market. The authors analyzed the current state of the domestic voluntary health insurance market by its types. In the study framework, the main tendencies were determined, while the relative ratios of voluntary health insurance market functioning were calculated.Item The impact of health care financing on the economic growth: EU countries analysis(Sumy State University, 2020) Самойлікова, Анастасiя Вiкторiвна; Самойликова, Анастасия Викторовна; Samoilikova, Anastasiia Viktorivna; Kunev, R.his article generalized modern tendencies and actual peculiarities of health care financing. The key aim of the research is to investigate the dynamics of health care financing as a factor of economic growth based on EU countries analysis. Systematization information sources connected with health care financing and its structure indicate that the EU countries analysis of dynamics of health care financing and its impact on economic growth was conducted fragmentary.
