Higher GHS Index scores did not provide robust evidence of better GDP per capita growth during the pandemic period. One association between GHS scores and 2019-2020 GDP growth appeared in the main all-jurisdiction model, but poor model fit meant it was not treated as strong evidence. Pandemic macroeconomic outcomes were likely influenced by factors beyond health security preparedness, national wealth, and government corruption. Annual GDP growth is an imperfect outcome because it can partly reflect recovery from a poor prior year.
