An econometric model of supply-side health sector in Japan was constructed in the current paper. The model is constituted from three vector error correction models. The diffusion process of health technology and the productivity of health sector are interrelated. In the model, both demand and supply of health care service, manpower in health sector and income distribution was taken into consideration. The employment adjustment depends on the differential in labor productivity. Due to the expansion of labor productivity differential of health sector and that of the other sector, the number of employees in health sector tends to increase. The major finding of empirical analysis using an econometric model of supply-side health sector is as the following. The ratio of health care expenditures to GDP would not continue to increase in the case that medical price is instantaneously determined by the change of labor productivity of health sector.
