Yonsu Kim (Healthcare Administration & Policy) published a paper on "What drives variations in public health and social services expenditures? the association between political fragmentation and local expenditure patterns" in the European Journal of Health Economics.

While it has been suggested that public health and social services spending is crucial to promoting health outcomes, less is known about what drives variations in public health expenditure across regions. This study aims to examine whether political fragmentation in local governance is associated with variations in public health and social services expenditures.
