题 目:“The Impact of Economic Conditions on Mortality over Life Cycle
” (with David Cutler and Adriana Lleras-Muney)
摘 要: Using historical mortality data covering over 100 birth cohorts in over 20 countries, this paper examines the impacts of the economic conditions on mortality over life cycle. Both contemporaneous and early-life economic conditions have large but different impact on morality: contemporaneous recessions are good for health but over the longer term recessions in early life reduce life expectancy. Although recessions in utero and childhood affect longevity, economic conditions around the time of graduation (from ages 10 to 30) have the largest impact on lifetime mortality. We also find strong evidence that the impacts of economic conditions on morality are much larger and stronger for those countries with lower government consumption/GDP rates, suggesting government expenditures can offset the negative effects of economic fluctuations on health outcomes.
