Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between IMRs and different independent variables. The Augmented Dickey fuller test and unit root test is used for examining the stationarity of the variables. The results obtained from employing the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model show a strong negative relation between health expenditure and IMRs. We also find a strong negative relationship between IMRs and female enrollment, unemployment, inflation, lady health visitors, and rural health Centre. To analyze the mortality rate, time-series data models are estimated using for the period 1975-2015.
