Abstract

In this paper multivariate Johansen cointegration technique is used in order to estimate health demand function
in Croatia. Empirical estimate is based on the theoretical foundation of Grossman's model. According to the
estimate, the number of physician visits in Croatia is a function of percentage of urban population, GDP,
number of beds per 100 000 people, number of physicians per 100 000 people and total fertility rate. All
estimated systems demonstrated strong feedbacks indicating number of endogenous variables greater than one.
