Abstract:
Health resources allocation, the cornerstone of health production capability, includes effective allocation of increments and rational readjustment of stocks. Using the least square method and variance analysis, the authors created a multilinear regression model on the basis of the calculation method and analysis principle of the Cobb-Douglas production function and in light of historical data in China's health sector and made a positive analysis of the current state of health resources allocation in China The result indicates that the input in health human resources has been insufficient and their contribution to production has been on the moderate side. Moreover, health resources allocation has shown decreasing return to scale on the whole.
