Econometric analysis of the WHO Global Health Expenditure Database for Zimbabwe, framing public health finance anomalies as formal statistical hypotheses. # Structural Break and Elasticity Analysis: Zimbabwe Health Financing Framework A rigorous, hypothesis-driven analytical framework mapping the structural durability of health sector financing in Zimbabwe across macroeconomic transitions (2005–2024). ## 🚀 Executive Metric Dashboard | Target Analytical Question | Quantitative Methodology | Validated Output Target | Strategic Policy Takeaway | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Q1 · The Denominator Illusion** | Pearson Alignment Check | $r = 0.74$ | GDP percentages mask absolute procurement power collapses. | | **Q2 · Abuja Declaration Metric** | One-Sample $t$-test Engine | Met 0 / 14 Years | System operates at a chronic, statistically significant budget gap. | | **Q3 · Shock Transference Layer** | Multi-Variable Correlation | Dynamic Cointegration | Drops in international donor assistance pass directly onto households. | | **Q4 · Structural Privatisation** | OLS Linear Vector Modeling | Significant Positive Slope | Public sector fallback is creating a system driven by private out-of-pocket costs. | | **Q5 · System Resiliency Pace** | Interrupted Time Series (ITS) | Break Recovery: $+\$3.34/\text{year}$ | Fragile structural rebound operating from a permanently baseline shift. | ## 🛠️ Reproducibility Pipeline The code is self-contained within an optimized dark-themed configuration.
