Health Financing and Population Health Outcomes Dataset: OECD Countries and Türkiye (2000-2021)

This dataset contains time-weighted health financing indicators and population 
health outcomes for 38 OECD countries and Türkiye spanning 2000-2021. The data 
support the study "Evaluating Health Financing Typologies Through Healthy Life 
Expectancy and Infant Mortality: Evidence from OECD Countries and Türkiye."

DATA CONTENTS:

   - Out-of-pocket expenditure (per capita USD and % GDP)
   - Voluntary/private insurance expenditure (per capita USD and % GDP)

2. Health outcome indicators:
   - Healthy Life Expectancy at birth (HALE) - overall, male, female
   - Infant mortality rates (per 1,000 live births) - overall, male, female

3. Derived analytical variables:
   - Principal component scores (3 components)
   - Multidimensional scaling coordinates (3 dimensions)
   - Cluster assignments (financing typologies)
   - TOPSIS performance scores
   - Gender gap indicators

4. Supplementary materials:
   - Reproducibility outputs
   - R analysis code
   - Cluster validation metrics
