Abstract
Jointly modeling state and county contexts reveals synergistic, not independent, mortality associations. Lowest mortality is observed in economically secure counties within liberal-policy states. For males, extreme county economic insecurity yields high mortality regardless of state policy. For males, high labor force participation raises mortality in conservative state contexts. For females, liberal state policies buffer both county economic and labor disadvantages.
期刊介绍:
Since its founding in 1964, the journal Demography has mirrored the vitality, diversity, high intellectual standard and wide impact of the field on which it reports. Demography presents the highest quality original research of scholars in a broad range of disciplines, including anthropology, biology, economics, geography, history, psychology, public health, sociology, and statistics. The journal encompasses a wide variety of methodological approaches to population research. Its geographic focus is global, with articles addressing demographic matters from around the planet. Its temporal scope is broad, as represented by research that explores demographic phenomena spanning the ages from the past to the present, and reaching toward the future. Authors whose work is published in Demography benefit from the wide audience of population scientists their research will reach. Also in 2011 Demography remains the most cited journal among population studies and demographic periodicals. Published bimonthly, Demography is the flagship journal of the Population Association of America, reaching the membership of one of the largest professional demographic associations in the world.
