摘要

摘要:本研究建立了一个理论和实证回归模型，以衡量疫苗接种在降低21年3月10日至22年12月28日期间各州COVID - 19死亡率方面的效果。在此期间，据估计，疫苗接种的可用性导致全国减少了42.7万例COVID死亡。为了得到这个估计，其他协变保持不变。特别是，研究发现，应将慢性病作为一个解释变量，以便对疫苗接种在减少死亡方面的功效作出公正的衡量。此外，65岁以上人群的比例也非常显著。解释COVID死亡的唯一重要的民族/种族特征是居住在一个州的美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民的百分比。其他民族/种族特征，以及代表人口、密度、政府严格程度和收入的变量，在测试期间并不显著。

The impact of vaccinations and chronic disease on COVID death rates

Abstract This study presents a theoretical and empirical regression model to measure the efficacy of vaccinations in reducing COVID death rates across states over the 3/10/21 to 12/28/22 period. During that period, it was estimated that the availability of vaccinations resulted in a reduction of 427,000 COVID deaths in the nation. To arrive at that estimate, other covariants were held constant. In particular, it was found that chronic disease should be included as an explanatory variable to arrive at unbiased measures of the efficacy of vaccinations in reducing deaths. In addition, the percentage of people over the age of 65 was found to be highly significant. The only ethnic/racial characteristic that was significant in explaining COVID deaths was the percentage of American Indians/Alaska Natives residing in a state. Other ethnic/racial characteristics, as well as variables representing population, density, governmental stringency, and income, were not significant over the period tested.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Bioeconomics is devoted to creative interdisciplinary dialogues between biologists and economists. It promotes the mutual exchange of theories, methods, and data where biology can help explaining economic behavior and the nature of the human economy; and where economics is conducive to understanding the economy of nature. The Journal invites contributions relevant to the bioeconomic agenda from economic fields such as behavioral economics, biometric studies, neuroeconomics, consumer studies, ecological economics, evolutionary economics, evolutionary game theory, political economy, and ethnicity studies. From biology, the Journal welcomes contributions from, among others, evolutionary biology, systematic biology, behavioral ecology, ethology, paleobiology, and sociobiology. The scholarly discussion also covers selected topics from behavioral sciences, cognitive science, evolutionary anthropology, evolutionary psychology, epistemology, and ethics.
